Do Smoker's have rights anymore? Seems to me that our Constitutional rights' are no longer ours.?

Eventually no one will have right. They just chipping away at them one by one. Welcome to the New America.

Smoking is not a right, maybe you should read the constitution. and yes I am an ex-smoker. Why would you want to endanger others is that not being a little selfish?

There is no constitutional right to smoke. The constitution protects fundamental rights and classes of people. No court has ever upheld smoking as a fundamental right or smokers as a protected class of people.

The last time I checked, the Constitution didn't say anything about guaranteeing the right to smoke. And what about my right to be free your nasty, cancer-causing habit? Second hand smoke is a real threat to the health of nonsmokers and I have no sympathy that your "rights" are being taken away.

Sure you do, same as putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger, you can kill yourself either way, but you don't have the right to pollute my air if I don't intend to smoke, I regard you smokers as a sorry lot, who know better but can't admit your wrong, I am an ex smoker who learned again how good clean air tasted!

You have your rights.. and so do non-smokers. That's why smoking is being banned in public places. It's one thing if you want to kill yourself with smoking, but the people around you who DON'T smoke don't need your second-hand smoke (which has been proven to be worse on the body than if you had actually smoked).

You are harming other people by smoking in public. Smoke in your house all you want.

Rights that for the duration of straightforward terms word whilst handy are not rights in any respect, they're momentary privileges. the government isn't meant to wreck out with asserting "believe us", there needs to be a device of tests and balances in place so skill isn't abused. Heck whilst we are at it if we actually settle for Obama's "believe us" argument why have democracy in any respect? Why no longer in straightforward terms supply him countless skill when you consider that we "believe him" and decide for him chief for all times? the clarification we flinch from such techniques is with the help of the fact we don't in reality believe the president nor any individual with that lots skill. Givernment skill consistently needs to be checked with the help of safeguards and transperency and at present the U. S. has certainly none. do no longer tell me the ridiculous in a distinctive way named "gangs" count style as oversight, they do no longer even remotely.

As a non-smoker, where do your rights end and my rights begin?

Why do I have to inhale your filth? If you eat fatty foods, I don't get heart disease. If you drink too much, my liver doesn't swell, etc. But smoking effect everyone around you. Secondhand smoke is actually worse than cigarette smoke. I don't want to get cancer from your vile habit.

Smoke in your home. But, please, keep it to yourself.

And tossing butts out a car window IS littering.

What about the rights of others to have clean air in buildings?! Should pregnant women and children be forced to breath in your poison just because you don't want to go outside? It is not unconstitutional to make someone go outside to smoke since it is harming others!

Yes you do, BUT remember the old saying:

"Your rights end where my nose begins."

It was originally referring to the fact that you DON'T have the right to arbitrarily take a swing at me with your fist...but now that we know about the dangers of second-hand smoke, it might have a new meaning.

Smoking is drug addiction. All drug addicts should have the "right" to shoot up in public, at shools, smoke marijuana and crack during recess at school, breaks during work, in the hallways of appartments, in their cars anywhere, picking up their kids at daycare centers, etc., etc., its the same thing, right? Yeah we'd all like that, hey? Its the same thing.
