I'd not worry about it really, in my experience regulars love a moan, but they rarely go elsewhere.
Smoking in the doorway is a big no no though, really off putting for people.

Also, it's your business now, you're not going to build it by pandering to some grumpy smokers. Always do what's best for the pub. Sometimes you've got to upset people to get on.
