No, I’m saying rights do not pertain to gratifying some individual’s peculiarities. If you grow roses, and I’m alergic to them (and some people are) I do not have a right to have the government force you to take out your roses.
I’m sorry you have a sensitive nose, but it’s your problem, not anyone else’s, and you have no right foisting your problem on others.
Here’s the principle of rights. There are only rights to do, there are no rights to have anything (except to have the wealth you have earned—by doing something productive). There is no right to have a job, medical care, education, or even food. There is no right to have an environment you like, which someone else has to provide.
Rights mean no one may interfere in your life to prevent you from living it as you choose, as long as you do not inerfere in anyone else’s—by the use or threat of force.
Anything else meant by “rights” requires the oppression of others and actually violates rights. Period.

Indeed, Hank.... Indeed.
I would suggest that your tobacco smoke wafting onto my clothes qualifies exactly.
