It would appear to be, smokers certainly don't allow others to enjoy

Look up the word 'choice' & get back to me.


My choice would be to breathe air free of tobacco smoke, the smokers'
choice is to pollute the air around them with tobacco smoke. That makes
my only possible course of action to move away from their pollution,
which means that I have no other option. Their choice has limited my
choices.

Choice means having non smoking & smoking areas & venues. Since the
rabid anti smoking fascists have forced smokers outside, the have
limited their choice - and now they whinge about smokers outside.

My choice would be to sleep in a hotel room that does not stink of old
cigarette smoke. Your choice as a smoker to break the law in that hotel
room yesterday makes it impossible for me to have my choice.

I wasn't in a hotel room yesterday? Where did you get that idea from?
Typical anti smoker - making things up.

I drive a coach for a living, and I have to walk through the cloud of
smoke generated by smokers who light up as they cross the threhold of
the exit door, and then just stand there, and get offended when I close
the door to keep their smoke out. Their choice of smoking place removes
my chance of staying smoke free.

Whose choice is more important? The drug addict's or the clean living
person's?

Both. But the anti smoking fascists removed choice from the equation.
