A Libertarian believes in individual rights, so long as they don't infringe upon someone else's individual rights. Therefore the "limited Government" should only intervene when an individual's actions may cause another to lose his or her right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Huh? Smoking does not violate anyone's rights ("secondhand smoke" threats have been thoroughly discredited), and as such libertarians oppose restrictions on smoking such as those imposed by the Republican mayor of New York.
