They're most upset that the employer doesn't have power to smoke out their employees.

Your describing your own position. A smoker smoking in his own house isn't an infringement on your freedom, neither is a smoker smoking in any other property that he owns or permitting others to do so. Your not trying to protect your freedom, from others aggression. Your aggressing against others (at least by proxy through government policies that you support). The classic statement you might be looking for is "Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.", but in this case someone isn't swinging their fist in to your nose, even metaphorically. Your putting your nose in to their fist, or literally in to the smoky environment that you don't like, or your butting your nose in by getting a law passed that people can't smoke, in a sense forbidding them to swing their fist anywhere, even in a boxing ring, because you might want to jump in front of it at some point.
