But there's an easy way to effect your local bars/clubs ... talk to the owner, let them know you're voting with your wallet. It doesn't need to be a government position to limit personal liberty.

I'm not sure how you're realistically expecting a single person to walk into some 3 story club in the middle of Tampas club district and ask for cigarettes to be banned when every other club allows them. I'd be laughed out of whatever weird fish-tank backed club-boss room they let me in.

I mean, maybe it's worth trying but it just seems astronomically impossible to me.

Bingo. I live in an area where adult-only leisure establishments can choose whether to allow smoking. About 80% don't allow it by conscious choice and everyone is happy.
