As a never-smoker, probably-never-will-smoker, and someone who doesn't care for cigarettes, I think this is completely ridiculous. A sensible restaurant will have a non-smoking section if they don't want to alienate customers, and that's perfectly fine. Anyone bothered by someone passing by them on the streets with a cigarette needs to grow up. It's just one more freedom to take away from us.

It ain't the big bad government that's taking this freedom away, it's the people baby!

Note that the guy you're replying to never mentioned "the government".

What difference does it make? Is it better to have your freedom taken away by "the people, baby" than "the big bad government"? The end result is the same - a violation of property rights.
