I think your idea has merit if there's the demographic to support it.
I'd think broader, with lots of stuff to shop. Then the "lounge" as an afterthought.
Moses hit it on the head, I suppose I didn't need to parrot him.

What I wanted to say is that I personally think B&M smoking isn't going to be around much longer. It sucks, but I think it's inevitable that the anti-smoking legislators will push them to extinction if they try to hang on as they are today.
Whether someone can even open a new smoking area legally is another question you'd need to answer. I'm sure it completely depends on your state.
