Smoking bans suck. Before, I had the choice of walking by a bar and not being enveloped in smoke (because they're all smoking outside the bar these days). Now I don't, though I've always had the choice of going to a bar.

I will defend to the death your freedom to do anything you like in your own space, at your own expense, where it does not impact others without their consent.
Light up a cigarette, a joint, whatever. Shoot crack, snort coke. I don't care. Your body is your own. So long as you do it on your own dime and don't expect others to enjoy your being around. Be my guest. Have a ball.
But in public, if you fart, pick your nose, smoke a cigarette, spit or whatever other way pleases you to get rid of your used-up bodily wastes, keep it out of my sight and smell. I do not volunteer to be your toxic waste dispsal site.
If you force me to see or smell you while you debase yourself with your disgusting habit, that is an act of assault and it will be resisted. Rapists and smokers are people who surrender to their need for personal indulgence, at the expense of others.

You have got to be kidding me. Seeing someone smoking is not an "act of assault". Plus, you are forgetting that small business owners have the right to say what goes on at their place of business. If you don't like smoking establishments, vote with your dollars and don't go there.
How can you even logically draw a similarity between rapists and smokers? Rapists violently attack someone, using physical force to violate them sexually. Smokers on the street, at worst, cause a temporary unpleasant smell. How the heck can you compare these two activities?

If for no other reason, smoking bans and the denormalization campaign against smokers must be stopped because of this guy's words, "f you force me to see or smell you while you debase yourself with your disgusting habit, that is an act of assault and it will be resisted. Rapists and smokers are people who surrender to their need for personal indulgence, at the expense of others." The ignorance of those who follow this campaign is astounding. The campaign's danger to society and the free world is crystal clear to anyone with a working brain.

Brilliant. I'm forming a student organization at my university and would love to get us involved in this. Keep us updated!

While it's a great idea, somehow I just don't see it happening. It would be interesting to try though, maybe get a grassroots effort together.
