142. What I'm offering for discussion is the notion that society has the
right to ban certain behaviors such as creation of an odor. This separates the discussion of smoking bans from the opposing claims as to the harmfulness of second hand smoke. It seemed to me that you were willing to allow society to ban paper mills and internal combustion engines. I would say then, that in principle, you agree that society can choose to confine certain behaviors to certain places or to ban them entirely.
