So until you figure out a way to safeguard the lungs of people who do NOT have a choice whether or not to be there, then go smoke in your own property, and stay the hell away from me and my lungs when you light up.

Okay, I'll go even more slowly, since the obvious response is already in your post:
They. DO. have. a. choice. They. can. leave.
They shouldn't have to? They don't have to. It's up to them whether they value the job enough to assume its costs. They DON'T have a right to that job and they DON'T have a right to modify it to their liking.
"then go smoke in your own property"
That's actually exactly what I'm arguing for. The owners decide whether smoke is allowed
on their own property.
