Means that there's a cost to everything, even if you can't see it right away.
The expression "there is no such thing as a free lunch" is an expression coined by Milton Freedman dating from the 1970s, much later than Adam Smith, who lived in the 18th century. The expression basically means that nothing is free (if you are given something for free, it means that someone else is paying for it, like a gift. It's not actually free.) There is a saying in modern finance that says "the only free lunch is diversification".

Nobel-prize winning Chicago-school economist Milton Friedman is famous for saying, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Sci-fi novelist Robert Heilein also used the phrase in his book "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." The term means that nothing is free, and if something seems free, it's just that you're getting charged through a back-door means; e.g., a bar might offer you a free lunch but you pay for it in the price of drinks. More likely is that it may be free to for some people, but someone else is picking up the tab. Actually, Robert Heinlein wrote "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Often shortened to TANSTAAFL in written conversations these days. "There is no such thing as a free lunch" refers to economics. In economics everything from our time to money is a resource.
