Its different by state I believe, and also changes by the lease agreement as well. If it becomes bothersome for you just mention it to the owner, sometimes if the traffic in the store isn't high enough they don't bother with the extra ventilation system just because its so loud.

On another note:
I remember hearing a a story about a shop in a VA mall where the mall tried to jack up rent for the store by twice as much because they were allowed to smoke inside and the mall had just put a kids place right out front of the store. The owner agreed on one condition, that the mall hired someone to check the pollutant concentrations of the store and other stores in the mall and if the cigar store had the highest concentration they would gladly either stop allowing smoking in the store or pay the increase in rent. Needless to say they weren't even close, and were actually on the lower end of most of the stores because of the ventilation system.
