The Right to Smoke

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The simple fact is that second hand smoke causes harm.

The small amounts of damage caused by each individual cigarette makes the tort model of redressing the damage impractical.  That leaves taxation and regulation as the only viable ways of handling the issue.  If you are are anti-regulation, that leaves only taxation as a viable option.  I suppose charging a tax on restaurants, bars, and other public establishments that allow smoking would be one way of dealing with the issue.  They would then pass on to their customers the costs of this tax and thus those who choose to smoke in public would pay for their damage, albeit very indirectly.  Of course, you would then have to presume that the government would actually spend the money raised by the tax on those affected by second hand smoke, an ifffy proposition at best.
