Ya, I can understand this point of view. But you're not allowed to hire child labor to work cheap for your business. And the government says you can't let your doggy eat scraps off the floor back in your diner's kitchen. The government does a lot of interference in the interest of protecting certain public interests. Its just the reality, we ain't going back to the 1800's.
Working in an establishment that allows smoking is a hell of a health risk. Can you imagine what it feels like to breath-in smoke for a 10 hour shift? And the argument "if you don't like the health/safety risks, quit your job" has never flied and never will. If you talk to workers in restaurants/bars a few months after a smoking ban goes into effect, you find very happy, relieved people.
