I'm thinking about breaking the smoking rules on National Smokeout Day. If I get asked to extinguish my cigarette.. I will say, "sorry", then I'll drop it on the floor, snuff it with my foot, then leave. Convenience store, restuarant, anywhere I spot a No Smoking sign.

The issue here isn't whether you have the right to smoke anywhere you want, (you don't) but whether individuals, especially business owners, have the right to decide whether or not to allow smoking on their own property. What you're proposing is more of the same things that got smokers into this position in the first place. The actions you're proposing are those of an individual who has given up the fight.

Yeah, as a former smoker, I have to say it's pretty lame what you're saying. As a guy once said to me (when I was smoking near him at a party), the worst alcoholic in the world won't force booze down your throat, and even the worst drug addict in the world won't shove a needle in your arm. But the smoker forces you to breathe in his cancer-causing exhaust. It ticked me off at the time, but ever since I quit (and you should too), I completely agree. Smoking doesn't just harm you, it harms everyone around you.

I propose a day set aside for all non smokers to be able to smoke.

That could get you in trouble.
A safe alternative is my plastic cigarette. All the fun with none of the risk. It raises their blood pressure just as much, makes them look like the idiots they are, and it provides me with the pleasure of confessing a minor sin.

LOL, my mom was having a bad day (eighties) and we needed some stuff, so to K-mart we went. Things were hectic and mom had had enough, she lit a cig in the toothpaste isle and smoked it. Nobody said a word, NOBODY...

And smokers act so incredibly confused with the wave of anti-smoking sentiment sweeping the country and courthouses.

One small example of how smokers are their worst enemies when it comes to Public Relations.

If someone asked me not to drink in their store (which they have many times), i'd put the cap back on the soda, not smash it on the floor.

Don't blame you. All this preaching makes me want to light up and I don't smoke.

LMAO! Funniest nico-nazi moment for me was these two UCSC meatheads, calling to me across the street (I was waiting for a cab) "Don't you know how bad a habit that is" I replied " Not as bad a habit as using a little UCSC hippies pin-head as an ashtray, and it tuns a distant third to NOT MINDING YOUR OWN FU***** BUISNESS!" Cab arrives, I depart without word one from those little punks.
