You can't see the difference between a mode of transportation ( which has increasingly stringent rules placed on it's emissions) and a recreation activity which serves no means other than a "nicotine fix"?

Did you know you also cannot drink alcohol anywhere you wish? There are rules in effect about where you can or cannot do it.

Ever see somebody second hand raving? It's a horrible sight..

Driving/riding can be a mode of transportation, but that doesn't mean that is all it is. Should we ban driving/riding for recreational purposes and call it a day? Maybe you have to have a note from an authority backing the validity of your trip.

I'm aware and that actually serves as a pretty good comparison. It is another rule created by uptight "puritans" who can't handle the sight of someone having a drink in front of them. It is also a rule I have ignored from time to time.

You're really reaching to draw the comparison between driving and smoking, it's just not working. "What if this, what if that about driving?" What about it? We're not talking about the rules pertaining to driving. We're talking about the right of a person to walk around and not breathe in another person's second hand smoke.

If you can equate that to car exhaust, have fun with that. Your right to travel sounds more familiar than your right to smoke cigarettes.

There isn't any if about it, you believe my right to pollute the air should be removed while your right to pollute the air is upheld.

Neither is a right. Unless you want to include your right to travel freely in your country. I'd like to see the line about your right to smoke marlboros in the constitution.

You have a point. I should have used another word. Substitute freedom, ability, or whatever word you want, the idea remains the same.
