"Ah, so I have no right to protect my health unless I am the property owner?"

You have every right to protect your health by not entering property owned by others that allows smoking. That is how you exercise that right. To have any other expectations means that you others could start to dictate to you things you don't prefer on your property.

Property rights only go as far as your neighbor's nose. Once you start hurting other people, with second hand smoke or your incisors, you forfeit your rights. That's pretty much the oldest and most fundamental tenet of Anglo Saxon Common Law known to me.
