Well, smoking is a choice, it's a vice just like drinking and yes you're quite entitled to do it.
The difference between smoking and any other vice (and this is where I hold my objection to it) is that it automatically inflicts itself on other people. You can drink liquor around other people, but if someone chooses not to, then they aren't forced to consume alcohol by the fact that the person next to them is. When someone chooses to smoke, they are taking away everyone elses right to not smoke.
