And you are correct that smoking is not a right. However ....
If you OWN YOUR OWN BODY, don't you have an absolute right to do with your property (Your Body) whatever you choose?
Property Rights == Freedom and Liberty.
Are you serious?
Serious as a fucking heart attack. If you do not own your SELF, you are not free.
Property rights ARE freedom. ANY restrictions on property rights are restrictions on Freedom.
I never really understood why Jefferson changed Locke the way he did, but we got "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness" rather than "Life, Liberty, Property"...
*I* think we got chumped.
