Why? You’re not the target audience and there’s plenty of customers in the coffee drinking market. Starbucks will work on what they’re good at, coffee.

When I was growing up if you wanted to use a bar or restaurant and were a non-smoker you had to deal with smoke. In this case 75% were non-smokers yet they wouldn't dare offend the smokers. When Michigan passed a law banning smoking in clubs, bars and restaurants the smoking lobby said it would result in extreme financial harm. However it was the exact opposite, their business went up! A couple years later a majority of smokers said it was for the better.
