You are ignoring that rights belong to individuals not groups.

If you smoke what if it bothers me?

Assuming that 2nd hand smoke is harmful, how could this apparent conflict be resolved?

The ans., one of the parties moves away.

How should the moving party be determined?

By property rights

If you are in my restaurant and smoke, I say "not on my property you don't." It would then be your choice to leave or stay (and not smoke).

There was a conflict in desires- rights settled the matter.

There was no conflict in rights, but there was a conflict in desire.

More later..

You can take what you want in your life as long as you are prepared to pay for it. Killing might make you happy but you don't have the right to deprive someone of life.

A killer is not worth more than the crime he commits.
Depriving someone of the opportunity to pursue their own happiness and freedom is the same as killing.
