That's very eloquent. I'm always tempted to use a piece such as this to try to persuade pro-smoking ban people their cause is unjust--but then I get disheartened cause I know it won't work. I think it's futile to talk about 'rights' with someone who doesn't have the equipment to conceive of the term. They'll just whine back something like, "Oh, and what about my right not to have to breathe in carcinogens ..." blah, blah, blah... Great piece, though. Maybe with enough like this one, it'll sink in eventually.
