Hardly, not when you advocate smokers being taken away in handcuffs for 
smoking in an open air park (why dont you just step away a few feet?).  Not 
when you want to ake it criminal to smoke in an open air parking lot unless 
in your car with the windows rolled up tight (why not just move the ashtrays 
away from the entrance?).
Freedom for a segment of the population only in your estimation, but at the 
expense of a massive reduction of the rights of others.  That's not freedom.
