That's not a mutual contract but tyranny of a majority.

But you believe in 'tyranny of a majority' when it comes to NOT allowing a person use of his property for manufacturing hard drugs.

No, I believe in those laws that reflect the restrictions that in a free society would be enacted through voluntary mechanisms (such as easements and covenants). In my opinion, local zoning regulations are examples of such laws but no-smoking ordinances are not.
