Do you also inform them that smoking stinks, is socially unacceptable to most in the US, kills with various cancers?

Don't really need to, as there are more than enought "tut-tutters" readily available for that task. To answer your question, I did caution them that the addictive and destructive nature of tobacco and other substances have the ability to limit their liberty - on the one hand you are free to smoke a cigarette, on the other hand, habitual use can mean you are unable to not smoke one. Happily for me, both are non-smokers as adults.

Now a question for you. Do you truly not see the tyrannical nature of your position?

No. It is a position supported by the laws of our land. The tyrannical position is to insist on blowing smoke in others' faces.
