Oh but it just isn't. Tobacco is a controlled substance in pretty much every country in the world. Now you may disagree as to where this government is being too restrictive and that's fine, but it doesn't mean you have any inherent rights to consume tobacco. The same way you don't have a right to consume heroine or meth.
