For those who feel that they should be able to smoke wherever they want, whether it be in a car with others or out in public, I think that the rights of those that want clean air trumps your rights.

Like I said, I am all for no smoking in a vehicle with children or in buildings but saying I have no rights to smoke in public on the street because you want fresh air is you taking the issue to far. There is no clean air and I don't see you whining about buses and other vehicles that drive by you emmiting much more crap then my cigarette does and yet I am sure if I was standing beside you on the street smoking it would be me that would get the dirty look. If I want to go up on my roof and suck smoke out of my chimney that is my right, it is not affecting you whatsoever. I am willing to keep my smoke to myself and not share it with others but the anti-smoking crusaders drive me nuts!
