I have the right to go into a restaurant/workplace canteen/pub/whatever without being forced to poison myself from YOUR second hand smoke.
Non-smoking section? Give me a break! Is there some kind of invisible barrier in between my table and yours that I'm unaware of?
If you want to, you are perfectly free to enjoy your oral carcinogens in the comfort of your own home. Or alternatively outside.

conversely I should have the right to smoke if I choose to do so. I think that when a state, city or country for that matter bans smoking entirely, it infringes on my right to smoke. I will be courteous and not smoke around those who choose not to but I do have rights whether I smoke or not. Non-smokers don't have any more rights than I have as a smoker. There are ways to work around this problem in public without destroying my rights or your rights. This really should go in the general discussion.. I'd like to get the whole boards reaction on this subject.
