I watched that video. Very interesting indeed. I largely agreed with it, and I was pleased to see that it fully supports my position. According to the video, no-one has the right to take another's life (and thus, by implication, his health). Smokers are damaging the health of others. They have no right to do this. Therefore the smoking ban is fully justified under liberal principles. Thank you for the link.
