Do you mean which pub will attract the most customers? My bet is, that it would be the smoking pub, because it will attract smokers and non smokers (as against anti smokers). Smokers being higher proportionately I would suggest amongst pub goers than in the general population.
Fair play and tolerance would suggest that the owners of the establishment be allowed to decide whether they wanted to operate as a smoking or a non smoking pub. Unfortunatly, the intolerant anti smoking zealots aren't fair minded.

Non-smoking.
I don't like the nanny stateness of it all but, when you consider all the pros of not smoking and all the cons of smoking well anything that can help people to stop damaging there selves and those around them is probably a good idea.
But you are right as long as smoking can be done somewhere where it doesn't damage the health of children or others then there should be a choice!
Employing bar staff that don't mind inhaling may become an issue in the future when more and more people quit, because it is wrong to put workers into a hazardous environment.

all I know is that I had to quit my bartending job after the smoking ban went into effect because nobody was coming in and I wasn't making any money. And the reason we aren't allowed to choose is because the cry baby non-smokers can't make their own decisions. Before the smoking ban I always made a choice to not go to non-smoking bars because I was smart enough to know that I wanted to be somewhere that I could smoke and they apparently can't make those decisions.

The non smoking pub will be busiest assuming both pubs have the same attractions and you do have a choice, choose to smoke outside and go to the pub or choose to stay at home and smoke, both my mother father and brother died from lung cancer attributed to smoking, it makes you and other peoples clothes and hair smell as well as damage the health of everyone in contact with it, it makes your teeth and fingers yellow and the stench from someone who has just had a cigarette is repulsive, that's the against, here are the fors...............................I rest my case.

The none smoking would be my choice, nothing worse than coming out of a pub stinking of other peoples smoke.

presuming the prices of the drinks are the same, the entertainment and atmosphere are equal and the quality of drinks and food are equal the non - smoking pub would be the most popular.

I think the smoking one would be more popular.
Honestly, the second-hand smoke you inhale from my two or three cigarettes doesn't make a hill of beans difference when you compare the damage you're doing to your liver from two or three drinks.

Nanny state.
Smoking and drinking are made for each other! Ban it restaurants maybe, but not pubs!
(and I'm an ex-smoker)
