Yes, I believe that paying exorbitant taxes gives me the RIGHT to smoke.
It boils down to this..... you can dig deep and justify no smoking in public even though the owner has seperate rooms and ventilations..... you dig deep and can find excuses for my not smoking in the privacy of my own car..... just as someone can dig deep and find reasons why Howard Stern couldn't be on public airwaves, just like some mother can dictate to a school that she doesn't want Tom Sawyer in the library......
In any situation like that you are not in any way bettering society YOU ARE SIMPLY TAKING AWAY CHOICES AND OTHER PEOPLE'S RIGHTS..... and once you start giving any government that ability, that power, you need to see the whole picture because in the end.... the government will eventually get rid of any choice and just dictate.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
