You have no right to smoke in public. In fact most states had smoking bans in place at the time the constitution as signed.

What? Look, I don't know how you define "public," so let's leave that aside for the moment. The argument here is whether the government can ban smoking on private property like a restaurant or bar.

Where do you get this stuff?

Following your logic, then Blacks have no right to vote.
