Actually its the rights of society vs the rights of the individual. When smoking was acceptable, the non-smokers had to suck it up. But things have moved on. Now the smokers are the minority, and the rights, often translated into funky little things called laws, dominate. Now smokers have the accept the rules of society. Such is life and we just need to accept it... Or change the views of the majority. But given that whole cancer thing... My money is not on cigiretes making a comeback any time soon. (But stranger things have occured...)
