Such as? What regulations, on this topic, do you think should go...? Maybe the appearance of a kitchen? Maybe you'd like it if Cooks and servers didn't need to clean their hands after wiping there asses, then handling your food...? Come on, I know you have devised this tyranical portrait of the government in your head, but use some comon sense...

If it that big a deal, gather up some support among the other workers, and request a change. Let it be known that it may cause you to leave that workplace for another.

Awwww. *pats you on the head*
The problem with this argument is that people generally always choose poor health standards over not having enough money to pay bills or feed their families. For every 10 employees that complain about the standards, there are 20 more waiting to take their shitty job,
especially these days....
No, you need someone to enforce such standards. I know you've turned the government into a monster, but private interests will not regulate themselves at the risk of raising costs. Someone has to make them do it....

Then, just keep your eyes open for other job opportunities. If the employer starts to see that he is at a disadvantage because of his policy on smoking, he will set up a ban.

What disadvantage will there be? Smokers will go there to smoke, and there will always be people to take the place of disgruntled employees. You act as if employyees
haven't complained about these things, or haven't organized against it. You expect the private market to regulate itself all of the time, but that simply won't happen.

Most workplaces have already realized that it makes their business more attractive if workers have to smoke outside of the building (or, at least, somewhere so that most people aren't exposed to it).

Like what, diners? How about bars? Restaurants? These places wanted and thrived off the money of smokers. Owners want there places to seem friendly to everybody, but places such as diners and bars have taken a hit from these laws. They were
never going to willingly change...
