There's an old saying: You have the right to swing your fist at my nose...up to the point just before making contact. After that you've infringed on my rights. Same goes with cigarette smoke.
Tobacco is legal. How and where you use it...isn't always legal. Using tobacco products is only legal where permitted...period.
Cigarette/cigar companies have conceded that cigarette smoking is both addictive and dangerous and can cause untold number of lung diseases and up to the point of causing death.
Kids can't defend themselves against harm from their parents. Yes, being a bad parent can be punishable if they put their kid's health and lives in jeopardy. Child protective service organizations in every state have 10s of thousands of kids in their ward because of bad parents.
I have the right to bear arms. I don't have the right to use my weapon anywhere or fire on anything I choose at will. Essentially it's been medically and legally established that second hand smoke has the same potential effects of breathing a bullet discharged from a weapon. The difference is the speed in which the results of the effects are known. In other words, if it doesn't kill you...it can seriously **** you up.
