And this is what you'd like to subject others to, just because 
you'd rather not refrain from smoking in an enclosed public place 
like a restaurant?  IOW, since you had to suffer as a kid, other 
people should also suffer, too, from something you, as a smoker, 
can prevent?

Nice try, but your analogy fails.  Even the tobacco companies 
could probably invent better propaganda than that!  The "optional 
activities" you mention, by their very nature, happen 24 hours a 
day.  Horses and grass remain what they are around the clock. 
It's an ACTIVITY (cigarette smoking) we're discussing, not a 
state of being. Are you saying it's "hypocritical horseshit" for 
a smoker to be considerate (and law-abiding, in California at 
least) and avoid lighting up for a period of one hour in a public 
restaurant?  Even a heroin or cocaine addict can usually go for 
that long without a dose of his/her drug-of-choice, and even 
smokers manage to stop smoking for several hours every night 
while they sleep, don't they?  Do you really need at least one 
lighted cigarette in your mouth every waking moment?

Also, the last time I checked, horses and grass were not known 
carcinogens.  The vast majority of people can be around them 
continuously with absolutely no ill effects.  The same is not 
true of tobacco smoke.
