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."
