What kind of rights do you have in mind? Why smokers? What makes you think smokers should have less rights? Smoking is a choice for most people around the world, we know its bad but there are lots of things people do that is "bad", so why should smokers have less rights?

What a worthless thread, people who live close to an airport or highway have more chance to get cancer than smokers. And don't think I say this to protect my smoking habit, cuz I quited smoking about 20 years ago.
No...what they should do is get off their asses and deal the real problem which is pollution...cutting out all the smoking in the world isn't gonna make the air any cleaner....they also just did a study that links autism with pollution which makes sense cause gawd only knows what people are breathing in every day.....so why choose to deal with one when the other is much more dangerous.....
Be more than this if I had my way. Star jumps in the work car park, a tax on sugar, no meat on a friday, national service which unlock marriage grants and a variety of other milestone grants, pass your driving test or gain a skill the country needs and you're going to receive a bonus. Drastically revise the system of income tax to encourage people to do what needs to be done, we need to weight the rules in favour of civilisation to attain a degree of basic functionality. Once you've established basic function you can be Kanye West free to do any mad thing you want, but not before.
People suing tobacco companies for million of dollars because smoking caused them cancer is the most significantly, emblematic, idiotic example of the Western nonsense...
Smokers should have the choice & right to smoke BUT OUTSIDE ONLY where they can damage their health and kill themselves BUT not at non smokers risk - or Mine. I believe in Legal strict ENFORCEMENT of NO SMOKING AREAS - any place where PEOPLE ARE AT RISK of fire Garages Petrol stations, food handling Cafe's and in all shops & stores. - WHERE non-smokers cannot avoid or escape from exhaled fumes smoke & THE ambient atmosphere.
ChesneyChrist: ...pass your driving test or gain a skill the country needs and you're going to receive a bonus.
Yes Minister, but then you have to provide opportunities equally, say for example, for people who are too sight impaired to drive. Plus, invest in the infrastructure to accommodate all the extra drivers, deal with pollution issues, fossil fuel limitations, etc.
Are you sure you're going the in the right direction?

I'm in much better health than a lot of people my age that never smoked. The only thing I take is an occasional Sertraline when people madden me to my limit.
The smokers have the right to destroy their personal health but I don't believe that the health department such as doctors & nurses must be satisfy or happy to treat those patients who suffer from smoking. Therefore, if there doesn't have the better policy to control or increasing the numbers of smokers whereas there also having a lot of problems to solve which always need a huge budget to fix its.

okay, what`s your opinion on hamburgers,cars ,processed sugar?
Congratulation! you suppose to get a big reward as you understand... smoking is a bad habit. The doctors and nurses must feeling better to treat those cancer patients more than smoker patients. As I've known, they could not deny or reject any patients, right? Then, cancer or any illness from smoking should not support no matter what are their reason.

Very easy and simple... The most important right which those all smokers will decreasing such as...get lower minimum wage, pay higher every kind of taxes, health treatment lower than general standard, etc.
PLEASE BARE IN YOUR MIND... SMOKING IS NOT ONLY A BAD HABIT BUT ALSO DESTROY PERSONAL HEALTH...
CossackCat: At least 80% of the price in USA is taxes. So what would they do if people didn't smoke? Oh yea.. tax something else. Non smokers would love that
And NO.. Enough with the #NannyState. Adults don't need to be told how to live or how to die.
Those adults must need to know... what is going to happen with them during their stubble with a silly right. On the other hand, we need to announce and emphasis to the new generation... such type of habit is out of date. Please never ever copy from old generation as your role model.

All kind of pollution always necessary to solve similar as... if any smoker realize that even smoking is not only a bad habit but also destroy personal health then they must not need any kind of public pollution available..
I've listen from JACK MA... this century, digital century, if you company produce a huge pollution then you company just paid the money , the world is not accept (as too old fashion) that way any more
