Where are these "smokers' rights" I keep hearing about?
Q. Is there anything in the Constitution or any other governing document or statute that explicitly defines (or even implies within) a citizen's right to smoke? Far too often, I hear smokers' complain about their "rights" being violated by anti-smoking ordinances implemented in many local juridictions for public health concerns. So again I ask, what and where are these smokers' "rights?"

A. The rights that smokers refer to an not specific, but rather implied, in the bill of rights under the definitions of appropriate conduct in public areas. Smoking is one of the grey subjects that is both legal and illegal depending on which laws are cited, and this division is even found within the bill of rights, namely a person's right to self defence against those who would do harm without permission, versus a person's right to do themselves harm within the bounds of the definition of sane mind. Of course all of these definitions are based on what a reasonable person considers "harm", "sane", "permission", and other words that are understood differently from person to person. For this reason, a local court judge in Michigan might rule… [cont.]

Will California have to give smokers their rights back?
Q. The governor is considering taxing golfers and pet care to raise money for the state treasury. Now (tongue in cheek) if the smokers had not been made so politically incorrect, maybe the tax coffers would not be so empty. Smokers always paid a lot of taxes on their smokes.

A. There is certainly a point there. If they hate cigarettes so much, why not just outlaw them? Must be some reason for keeping them around. *

A. You're little rant doesn't make a whole lot sense...but I'm guessing that you are trying to say that smokers should have rights and we shouldn't hassle people that smoke? Well, I have rights too and I don't think that I should have to worry about getting lung cancer because of other people's gross habits.
