You have a right to not associate with minorities. Try demanding that someone else enforce that right for you by kicking them out of a public place and see how far it goes.

Again that is apples and oranges. Not even close to the same. Comparing smoking to someones skin color is pure stupidity.

What about when your perceived "rights" infringe on the rights of property owners?

I have a right not to have smoke blown in my face.

Absolutely: on property you control.

it wasn't that many yrs ago that I had a chain smoker working within a few feet of me.

And how long ago did that kill you?

I have no problem with someone smoking on their private property. I do have a right not to have smoke blown in my face in a public place. And like someone else said it's the long term effects I'm worried about. Btw, the chain smoker wasn't stopped by our employer, he was stopped by the chain smoking. I hope you decide to stop before you suffer the same fate.

totally different. Apples and oranges.

No problem with smoking bans. I think it is one of those things where the question of "when your rights enfrienge on my rights" comes into play. I have a right not to have smoke blown in my face. Of course I avoid places that encourage smoking, but it wasn't that many yrs ago that I had a chain smoker working within a few feet of me. Glad those days are over.
