What gave you the idea that I support our current car-centric infrastructure? I don't, for multiple reasons clean air being one of them. But that's not an issue that can be addressed with one law, smoking in public is.

Your freedom ends where mine begins.

Exactly. And if your freedom to enjoy a public space requires you to impact the enjoyment and health of others that's where your freedom ends.

    I suppose we generally agree but have different priorities regarding what is "impacting other people's enjoyment and health".

    E: if we agree on no emissions period in public spaces I'm game. I would still tackle cars first and foremost before I'd go after the last public smokers in the country.

    Prohibiting smokers is vastly easier than redesigning cities and and convince people to invest trillions in public transportation ... are you really that dense?
