That analogy breaks down as smokers had no alternative. After bars banned smoking they lost few (if any) smoking customers while relishing in troves from the non-smoking demographic. Car-centric Viennese can still avoid Begegnungszonen.

People of Vienna who wanted to go shopping in their cars could have went shopping in some other shops accessible by car. There were no bars where the smokers could have went to smoke.
