Who really owns the air?

'Air' is not a commodity, nor is it 'manufactured' so nobody can declare ownership in such a situation. However, you seem to be asking a two-part question, and refer to smoking. This is a completely separate issue than, 'Owning air'

nobody can control the air or where itt goes

you can't keep it on your own property or in your building

the thing smokers do not get is they are subjecting everybody around them to pollution and toxins they generate and it creates a Health risk to those exposed

we really don't give a damn if you wish to smoke and destroy your lungs as long as you do not do any harm to others and that is something no smoker can control

many jurisdictions are taking a more responsible point of view to the point it is illegal in some places to subject your children to second hand smoke

you may not be legally allowed to smoke in your home if children are present and not in a vehicle with children as passengers

many places have instituted policies that make it illegal to display tobacco products unless it is only a tobacco shop and no minors are allowed on the premises

the idea is kids may not adopt the habit if not subjected to a bunch of Bull S H I T advertising

you may not think any of this is right but in that case you are only considering the Smoker's point of view in any successful society every body's point of view must be considered and decisions based on what is better for the majority of the population

air-space is owned by the property owner up to the height of the top of the tallest structure on that property.

Everything above that is owned by the government, until outer space

nobody actually owns "air" since it can float over to another property in a split-second, or waft around a thousand properties in an hour

At bottom you do not even own property. Lets differentiate the difference between the "right to property" and "private property rights". The right to property allows you to do what you will with your property, to utilize all it's benefits and resources without third party manipulation. "Private property rights" allows you to exercise certain legislated rights for a given period of time, and for an annual fee (tax). It does not grant you ownership, and with the threat of confiscation for failing to pay the tax you never own that property, you're merely renting the rights to the property.

We'll this is a f****** stupid debate.. Non-smokers and smokers have tonnes of c02 polluting the atmosphere for their sake. You are correct

God, because He created it.

"For to Jehovah belong the earth and that which fills it." 1 Corinthians 10:26

Obama wants to own it and then charge you a users fee to use it. What a dip stick.

God.
