I can't speak for the US, but I think there were some in the UK. I didn't really go to restaurants before the ban (and still can't afford to much) but I never remember there being much smoke around; maybe they found other ways around the problem, like better ventilation.

Even if not, it may simply be that smokers care about wanting to smoke a lot more than non-smokers care about not wanting to inhale smoke.
