I don't think it's the right of a non-smoking person to demand that a smoker not be allowed to light up either. I think it's the government's DUTY to ban smoking everywhere. It's not just a matter of what people like or dislike. It's a matter of public health. In the same way that the government bans the use of formaldehyde in buildings because it is known to cause cancer, the government should also ban smoking in all buildings for the same reason. Smoking kills. Second hand smoke kills. Why should it be tolerated?

Whoa. That is so 1984 (Orwellian).
Dude, you fuckin scare the shit outta me.
It is not the government's responsibility to keep me healthy. It is my responsibility, just as it is yours to keep yourself healthy.
