No, rights are natural qualities, principles or states of being we are born with. They're either endowed by you by the creator of your choice or they exist through natural laws. They almost always can be derived from natural law and/or natural observation.
No human being dictates what rights another has, period. That means no, you don't get to tell people they don't have the right to smoke.
Grow the fuck up and accept that other people smoke and stop obsessing over things you can't control.
Oh I see now, you believe rights are given to you by some imaginary bearded guy in the sky! Lmao
I'm in the natural law camp of people that understand the concept of natural rights, but good on you for making it obvious you have no real respect for rights.
lol yeah I respect inexistent 'god given rights' the same amount as I respect the rights bestowed upon me by the school of Hogwarts.
Good try passing off your personal religious beliefs as universal truths though.
