I think the point is that heat in a foundry is something which can't be changed, whereas smoke in a pub is something which can be changed. So that's why they're changing it.
I have to admit that when I did bar work for one summer as a student I didn't really think much about the smokiness. But then I'd never encountered a non-smoking pub back then, so I doubt it occurred to me it could be different.
