Right to Abortion but Not to Smoke Tobacco

Individuals have a right to abortion, but according to a New York judge, they do not have a right to smoke tobacco.

A judge Wednesday tossed out a lawsuit brought by a 115-year-old private club that sought to strike down New York state and city no-smoking regulations so it could continue to honor its members — who include Walter Cronkite and Carol Burnett — with ceremonies that include lighting up.

"Individuals have no 'fundamental' constitutional right to smoke tobacco," the judge said... The judge suggested that the club substitute suitable nontobacco products.
