When I waited tables, people didn't usually volunteer for smoking because (a) during lunch the section wouldn't even fill up and (b) even at dinner, the smoking section was known for being big campers, and all the money was made on table turns. It was a pretty family friendly tex mex restaurant. I would guess that it varies by type of establishment.
The better tipper thing makes logical sense because so many service industry people smoke, but I didn't see empirical evidence of it.
