Nowadays smoking is considered an evil. We want to provide an oasis for smokers.

This actually is a good business plan. If you had an establishment that states before you go in that people smoke, and second hand smoke is in the building, and hire people who understand that they will work in a smoke environment, I am sure people will go there. Not that I am a smoker, but I believe that if they want to go to their own spot and smoke until they turn blue, let them go.
Pretty soon, you will probably start to see places like this in the US. Simply because they have raised the taxes so much on cigarettes, many local governments will find that they are going to have more revenue shortfalls, and you will start to see exceptions to the smoking ban rules to allow people to go places and smoke, and hopefully generate some revenues from cigarettes. Just my thoughts.

That's not the message I'm getting when I visit most restaurants in Japan.
All adults should have the right to get lung cancer if they so wish. This sort of business allows them to do so without harming others who want to live a long, healthy life, but then there should be fewer and fewer restaurants that need to keep tables for smokers.
Yes, an oasis for smokers. I just wish there were oases for non-smokers too, as far as restaurants and cafes are concerned.
