The right of all persons to a healthy and smoke-free environment when visiting public buildings, events, restaurants or any other place open to the public. The right of all employees to a healthy and smoke-free workplace. The right of all children to have the opportunity for a healthy and smoke-free life, without being exposed to tobacco advertising and careless merchant practices providing easy access to tobacco products. The right of smokers to purchase and use tobacco products, as long as they refrain from smoking in public places where nonsmokers would be needlessly exposed to known health risks from secondhand smoke. Although smokers should certainly have the right to endanger their own health and lives if they so choose, they have absolutely no right to expose others to the same dangers.
Smoking is optional, but breathing is a necessity.
