You forget that allowing smoking in a business establishment forces non-smoking employees to put up with hundreds of carcinogens against their will. What country are you living in where slavery is still legal? Last time I checked, most of the world doesn't force people to work somewhere they don't want "against their will."

Should the free market decide what building standards are safe? Yes

Should the free market decide what food additives are non-carcinogenic? No, science should. The free market should decide who gets to eat them.

Should the free market come up with air quality standards? Yes

For free markets to be beneficial, they need liquidity, perfect information, and competition/alternatives. Not true. For free markets to be *perfect* they need this, nobody claims they're perfect. It's not a question of what's perfect, it's a question of what's better.
