So I get it now...these ordinances that impinge on their freedom of speech are okay but one's that don't allowing smoking aren't okay.....hmmmmm

I guess the main difference is that these are local ordinances by the planning and zoning boards and can be changed. You can get a variance which is something you can't do if you own a restaurant and want to allow smoking (unless you wanted to throw a ton of money and time at it).
I'm personally a little more "market driven" and would rather consumers (read $$$) take care of all this. I express my feelings to establishments that do things that bother me. If enough people do, hopefully they change. If I'm in the minority, I have to live with it.
BTW - personally I don't find these signs very effective (kind of like a loud commercial on TV) but that's me.
