If you think a person's act of smoking a cigarette has harmed you, take the person to court and do your best to prove it to an impartial jury. After all, that's what a rational person would do if a person robbed them, right?

This rational person would call the police and have them arrest the robber at gunpoint.

You are confusing civil with criminal law.

No confusion. Prove it to an impartial jury that you've been harmed by the person smoking a cigarette. The point being, you wouldn't be able to convince even half the jury that you'd been harmed.

This forum is used by some people (ccmay included) that want the power to initiate force, fraud and coercion against people (be the "higher authority") or seek to enlist government agents ("higher authority") to initiate force, fraud and threat of force against people on their behalf.
