"A free society should tell restaurateurs and bar owners: do as you will, announce your policy, let the free market make you or break you."

You are correct and in addition a society whose liberties are secured by a "constitution" would state:

Amendment V:

"...nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation," to those who propose that restaurants must provide a smoke-free enviroment when there is a an expenditure that will be incurred by the private property owner.

Amendment IX:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, SHALL NOT be construed to DENY OR DISPARAGE otheres (rights) retained by the people."
