If a person asks me politely to put my cigarette out, I do so gladly. BECAUSE UNLIKE THESE NON-SMOKING NAZIS, I RESPECT OTHERS RIGHTS.
As for cigarette smoking causing death.... undoubtedly, but we all die of something. Just wait for all these new drugs to start causing health problems, or Bush's laxadaisical approach on the EPA laws, allowing for filthier air, more arsenic and poisons in our waters and foods.... yeah, smoking is so much worse.

If you can smoke without poisoning the air with carcinogens, go right ahead. The moment you spew toxic chemicals into the air, you do harm to everyone around you.
Yes, there are worse things being spewed out than breathing poisons out for others to breathe in. There is justification to regulate those as well.
The right to free speech ends when you yell "FIRE" in a crowded theatre.
The right to kill yourself with drugs without interfearance ends when you spread toxins into other people's bodies.
