Public land is also mostly anti-libertarian, but the government should be able to within reason do what they want to public land. Private property shouldn't be interfered with, a true libertarian doesn't even outlaw people smoking crack and booting heroine in their on their own property. You’re not a pure libertarian.

That particular example doesn't seem to apply, though, if it's just a restaurant that allows smoking. It could possibly be argued that within the restaurant, someone has a right to their own booth space as "promised" by the restaurant-- I've noticed some smokers who simply do not know or care to direct their smoke in a different direction other than a non-smoker's face. But, pretty much everything someone could do would be declared a nuisance by someone, so it gets kind of murky...

And this is what you are passing off as libertarianism? Fantastic. Engineer Poet:
