Its the owners of the property that are requesting their rights be subject to a smoking ban.

Incorrect. I'll fix it for you.
Its the SOME OF the owners of the SOME OF THE property that are requesting their OTHERS rights be subject to a smoking ban.

Thses bans are being done using due process. This is not a property rights issue.

Nice try, BS, but nice try.

It may be a due process issue, but property rights can be impaired so long as a due process is followed.

Nice try again, but no soap. Rights may be violated, but they still exist. If I kill you, you will be dead, but the fact that I denied your right to live doesn't mean that no such right existed. You may vote (due process) to violate my rights, but the fact that you do that doesn't mean my rights don't exist.

All this betrays your real authoritarian agenda. Stop masquerading as an American.

If this were the case then the 14th wouldn't have needed to add the words "without due process". No murdered could ever be executed, no robber could be jailed, no state could ever use eminent domain.

We have a few rights which cannot be imposed on even using due process (which include guns, press, religion etc.) but property rights isn;t one of them and neither is the right to smoke.
