Smokers have every right to give themselves lung cancer and die slowly from it. That does not, however, give them the right to give us lung cancer, smoke induced headaches, or reek of smokey death just because they want to light up indoors or anywhere else for that matter.

I'd disagree with this. What if I'm the guy sitting next to the smoker and have to sit through the sporting event while they smoke up the area? It disrupts my enjoyment of the game, because, well..... of all the reasons I mentioned above. I don't care how open-air the event is, if you sit next to someone who smokes, you get some of the second hand smoke in your face.
Just because a smoker has a nasy habit and "needs" to light up doesn't mean we have to join in his habit.
(Can you tell I don't like smokers or smoking much at all??
