I sympathize with your problem.
I don't think a fan will have much of an impact on the smoking situation. You would need cross-ventilation; a fresh air source at one end of the building and an exhaust at the other end.
Also, any sign will only offend smokers who are very sensitive to being singled out.
I would move to New York where we don't have this problem anymore; Yahoooo!!!!
