Strong rhetoric but do you have the same view about driving a vehicle that has noxious emissions (and we're only recently discovering quite how noxious) that inevitably enter the personal space of others? Can we assume you don't have one?

Meh, that's a stawman argument.

We grudgingly accept the emissions from cars because of their other usefulness.

If we could make cars with no emissions and no other negatives, gas-powered vehicles would surely be outlawed very soon.

Smoking has no useful purpose and frankly it's ridiculous that some people feel they are entitled to put other people's health at risk because of their own addiction.
