Should anti-tobacco activists satisfy themselves with educating people about the potential danger and allowing them to make their own decisions, or should they seize the power of government and force people to make the "right" decision?
If second-hand smoke was a threat to my health, I should be responsible for removing myself from that threat. Cars are a threat to my health sometimes, so I don't walk on the freeway. I should not be able to restrict someone else from smoking.

Don't forget that cars create smoke too. If the nico-nazis get away with taking away your cigs for "public" health, the eco-nazis will use the same reason to take away your car.
