I always suspected the term was hokey .... now I know for sure ->http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Smokers%27_rights
"Smokers rights" is a term used to spur what appears to be a "grassroots" American political movement, created and abetted behind the scenes primarily by tobacco companies, to preserve the social acceptability of smoking and preserve smoking in public places.
Why is this relevant? DCI: From Smokers' Rights to Patients' Rights ->
The DCI Group, a lobbying and public relations firm known for creating front groups for industry clients and Republican campaigns, is behind a new anti-health reform front group, the Coalition to Protect Patients' Rights (CPPR). "CPPR has been organizing lobbying efforts against health reform and publishing op-eds across the country with misinformation about the public option," reports Think Progress.
Yeah, smokers can fuck off. Smokers have no additional rights.
Now we know that the whole movement is funded by both the tobacco companies and elements of the American Right-wing - > Do not trust what they say because they are liars.
