Smoking is a human right just like a person has a right to hang glide or fish or drink alcohol. Your question should be "do human rights end when a persons activities become hazardous to ones health?" Just because smoking is bad for someones health it is not anyone else's place to tell them they aren't allowed to do it. Provided they are of age.

What is the role of media in the violation of human rights?

Around the world, the media is the most effective avenue for spreading human rights awareness and acceptance. While spreading messages through schools and community forums can be effective at reaching dozens or even hundreds of people at the time, they can't match the reach and scope of the media. For instance, one radio station in the Congo can reach hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously with information about women's rights. A website featuring photographs of rights abuses in North American Aboriginal communities may get millions of hits a day. Increased awareness about human rights is the first, and most necessary, step to ending human rights abuses. The more people know and care about human rights standards: * The more people are empowered to defend their own rights (think FGM victims in the DRC) * The more people are inspired to come to the defense of others (think of interventions in spousal abuse situations in North America) * The more governments and civil society leaders are forced to improving their practices (think of the improved government rights record in Ghana or the US under Obama) The more human rights norms are injected into the fabric of society, the less likely rights abuses will be committed or tolerated when they do occur. Other methods of improving human rights-namely creating legal frameworks (United Nations) or sparking international public pressure (Amnesty International)-can be effective, but only when the general public in the countries in question understand, accept and embrace their human rights first.
