Its a religion to them, you can't argue with them. Its just like gay marriage.. gays say their rights are being infringed because they can't marry... which is of course not true... they are free to marry, just hast to be to a member of the opposite sex... but they will never accept that... just as smokers will never accept that saying you can't smoke here is not the same as you can't smoke at all.
I think it just shows how addicted they are to the things that they are unable to recognize this.
Another one with a reading comprehension problem.
This has nothing to do with the right to smoke - it has to do with the right of a private property owner. Nothing more, nothing less.
And you are willing to vote the rights of the owners away. Remember that when someone decides they don't like what you are doing on your property and vote to take away your right to do it.
