I'm amused at how unc!tim sabotoges his own argument by saying,
"Freedom requires responsibility" to justify smokers' rights.
He goes on to say that those of us who are non-smokers are
required to act responsibly and allow smokers their right to polute
our environment. 

	Where he sabotoges his argument is simply that he, while
requiring responsibility from non-smokers, requires no similar
responsibility from smokers.  The way I understand his argument,
non-smokers must allow smokers the right to smoke, but in turn
are granted no rights to enjoy a healty and non-lethal atmosphere.

"Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray."
