I think, at this point, there's very little smoking-rights advocates can really do. I think we'll see smoking become pretty much illegal in the next decade or so.

Smoking will probably become illegal sometine in the future,I agree,but be prepared to pay higher taxes in your state to adjust for the loss of cigarette taxes. In Mass avery pack of cigs has $1.51 excise tax added to it and then they tax the excise tax with a sales tax.
When smoking becomes illegal it will still be done but criminals will be raking in the profits.Is that what the antis want?Doesn't anyone remeber the lessons of prohibition?

There is little to be gained by accepting a posture of a "smoking-rights advocate"; I prefer to call myself a smoking-ban opponent.
This is an issue of government rights versus inenumerated rights.
