He holds the record for most expensive painting sold at auction for a living artist. Personally would not pay 1 cent for his homoerotic art but I am a philistine.

In the context of a free rational society, the principle linking private property rights and exposure to smoke, pollutants, and radiation, is the owner of property which exposes others to dangerous/harmful substances would not be able to expose the property of others to danger/harm. They both would have to agree on and would need a zone of safety.

He won't last too much longer if all he cares about is smoking.

[Vaden]

I’m not a smoker nor am I a big fan of it. I will freely admit I don’t want it around me. I lived with it all my life from birth till about age 15 when my parents quit. My sister, and many of my aunts and uncles smoked on and on. I do believe second-hand smoke is not good. I suffered with terrible bouts of bronchitis when I was a kid because of it. I don’t intend to live with it anymore.

However, I don’t want to be a nazi about it. I don’t support TOTAL bans. I feel the rights of the business owners whether to allow it or not should be respected. I don’t have to patronize that bar or restaurant. I don’t like it when I am eating or drinking, that’s for sure.

The happy medium still exists but people in this country no longer care about it and no longer look for it. Those who desire outlawing and bans just want to control.

I’m amazed he is still alive.
