One can argue for anyones right to smoke so long as the smokers activity does not impinge upon the breathing air or damage the property of any other person or persons that has not given permission to do so.
Though Libertarians share a basic political philosophy, they are not a collective of identical individuals with identical opinions on this issue or any other. That being said, by and large Libertarians are for Civil Rights, but most take issue ONLY with Title II & VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as these sections may interfere with private property rights (at least from the perspective of the leading Libertarian thinkers of that time).
religious conservatives led by William Jennings Bryan.
It is unclear where or how the term 'civil libertarian' actually came about. The term is mostly used by people who are attempting to describe other peoples politics of which they do not understand. Google Wikipedia's article on civil libertarian as an example of the confusion that comes from this word. The description of civil libertarianism describes people from both the left and the right. The biggest problem with the word is that civil rights are not natural rights. To be civil is to be a part of the state, but one need not the state in order to have natural rights, but one can not have civil rights with out the state. Who ever these 'civil libertarians' are they are not Libertarians, or members of the patriot community, or free thinking individuals. The belief that mans rights preexist a government is not a 'civil libertarian' ideology it is the ideology of freedom. It seems to me that these so called civil libertarians spend more time asking the government for liberties then they do just being free. I've heard it said that if only the leaders would lead, the people would surely follow. I'm inclined to believe that if you have no leaders all that's left is to follow your heart. I'm fairly certain that's legal. I don't need a plethora of civil libertarians playing politics with a government hell bent on reigning in the rights of the people, in order to be free. We would all be better off if we would mind our business then there would be far less confusion on what a civil libertarian is.
Individuals who prioritize individual rights, personal freedoms, and limited government intervention are likely to believe in civil liberties as they have traditionally been defined. This often includes libertarians, certain liberal groups, and advocates for social justice who emphasize the protection of personal freedoms such as speech, assembly, and privacy. Additionally, those with a strong belief in constitutional rights and democratic principles are also inclined to uphold these traditional definitions of civil liberties.

Like a number of politicians, Mr. Obama has said he is opposed to certain provisions of the Patriot Act. But when congress re-authorized it, he did not try to prevent that, because he evidently has come to believe that even with its flaws, it is a useful tool for keeping an eye on potential terrorists. Civil libertarians disagree with this assessment, however.
Torts with regards to civil claims; criminal law with regards to state prosecution. Property law can also be thrown into the mix, for good measure.
Any person can offer to mediate a civil dispute, but it is unlikely that they have the time or experience. This may be forbidden by department policy.
With regards to the US Civil War, many historians prefer to use the term of The War Between the States. For some historians, what is generally called the US Civil War, is not an accurate use of the term "civil war".
