Would you say the same about regulations against smoking?

Definitely I would. As a restaurant owner I should be able to dictate who can and who can't smoke in my premises. Having said that, cigarettes should be much more expensive so we can fund healthcare.
Smokers are actually cheaper for the healthcare system because they die early and don't require years and years of intensive medical care during old age.
