I don't believe smoking is a "right". However, that doesn't mean anyone else has a right to prevent me from engaging in that activity.
Do you think eating a cheeseburger is a right? I don't think anyone would say that it is. Do you think the government therefore has a right to prevent you from eating one?

Cliffs notes: A court ruling says there is no "fundamental right" to lifesaving drugs; therefore, it's open season for the government to restrict your access to them.

This isn't surprising. It's a predictable application of drug war philosophy. If the government can stop you from putting drugs in your body that make you high, it's a short leap to say that the government can let you die while waiting for drugs that could save your life, albeit still in the name of "protecting" you.
