Smoking bans are empowered only by the fact; most non-smokers do not like the smell of tobacco smoke; sum and total. A political win by the majority rules, although most don't care, they never did, beyond the perspective of what brings them comfort as the ruling perspective.
The truth in respect to the legitimate "fear" can be seen by how many actually run away from what is said to be a mortal danger with no safe level? How many have been prosecuted, or could be, for attempt murder or common assault with a deadly weapon by smoking in the presence of others?
There is no legitimate danger or fear, the lie supports comfort, nothing more.
There are other perspectives, despite what you may have be taught by the advertisers and promoters, who pay a lot of money to convince you their is a legitimate harm found, in normal exposures seen in respect to second hand smoke.
Tax exempt RWJF for instance, gambled a half a Billion [with a B] dollars, confident they could convince us, "smokers" are different from the rest of us. The profits and increased stock values of a large block of stock they hold in Johnson and Johnson [their protected tax adjusted parent] demonstrates the investment paid off large. As does the increased value of Philip Morris stock, since the Tobacco Papers and the Tobacco settlements saw them at an all time low, shows clearly they are dong pretty well, reinvigorated by the anti smoker movement as well.
What is really wrong with smoking bans?
Beyond the lies, lies by omission and exaggerations, the statistical deceit, the financial costs and incredible levels of profiteering, or the long list of other damages to otherwise peaceful and co-operative communities. Realization of huge mistakes made, shortly after they were made, the last time this nanny state theology was popular, might help to refresh our memories.
The scientific community was never humbled by the realization of the horrors they inflicted on the world, they simply pointed at others. Just as they do today, shamelessly protecting their benefactors, they blame the users, to deflect our contempt away from the product.
As good cop bad cop routines play out, not a single raised eyebrow of concern is seen, by the realization the same hated industry executives [as the dragon] also supply the bulk of processed foods on your child’s dinner plate under the alias of Kraft or Nabisco. Enticements sold with the same targeted methods, being used now to present themselves as your protectors and as your proxy, which permits the same targeting of your children, through carefully worded advertising and politics, which in large part is now also seen in their classrooms.
From the document UNESCO and its program, 111
The race question.
From the preamble we find;
“The great and terrible war which has now ended was a war made possible by the denial of the democratic principles of the dignity, equality and mutual respect of men, and by the propagation, in their place, through ignorance and prejudice, of the doctrine of the inequality of men and races."
And of course;
“Knowledge of the truth does not always help change emotional attitudes that draw their real strength from the subconscious or from factors beside the real issue.”
In its final conclusions in the opinion of Scientists world wide, it was stated;
“Man is born a social being who can reach his fullest development only through interaction with his fellows. The denial at any point of this social bond between man and man brings with it disintegration.”

It really is worth the read. If for no other reason, to help understand what is inherently wrong with smoking bans. The same promotions of inciting hatred utilizing incredibly the identical slogans and catch phrases, which should have caught the attention of all of us.
Divisions are being formed by comparing groups of people, to claim superiority, or harms to be feared. Degenerative advertisements are being employed by large well heeled groups, identifying themselves only as Public Health Authorities, operating as a cult movement and spreading the same gospel targeting groups of otherwise innocent and normal human beings with; denormalization “”campaigns””.
“A particularly vicious and mean expression of the Caste spirit. It involves belief in the innate and absolute superiority of an arbitrarily defined human group over other equally arbitrarily defined human groups”
Anyone who has bought into this corrosion of communities, even to a small degree, has been trapped by the threat of being described as hypocritical, if you resist buying into the complete package and the unbridled hatred we have all witnessed in the past.

There seems to be a lot of denial within the medical community that; nicotinic acid produced by burning the nicotine found in tobacco, is in fact vitamin B3 or niacin, the chemical description is C6H6N2O and its molecular weight is 122.13 daltons.
Nicotinic acid is processed by the human body to produce among other things, NAD+.
The world is your oyster, and Google searches are readily available to find the proof if I am wrong.
Go for it.
However after you discover I am not wrong, go one step further and do a search at PubMed or any of the popular medical journals for "NAD+" a highly effective prevention or cure for cancer and heart disease. It is an essential element in the process of bodily regulation including heart rate, blood flow and heat regulation and the repair of genome damages. If not as important as nitric oxide in maximizing the health efficiencies of bodily function, a very close second.
Nitric Oxide similarly has been branded by Health scare authorities with a deadly health risk reputation because it is primarily a product of automobile engines and power plants.
At PubMed alone you will see over 38,000 references to NAD+ and by examining even a sampling of those references, try to locate any indication, which, in the prescribed dosage [one milligram of nicotine as you find in a cigarette, equates to a delivery from each cigarette of 35 micrograms of nicotinic acid] find any adverse effects which come close to the reality, NAD+ reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol, or the fact NAD+ has been shown to identify and separate the damaged cells from a DNA strand, so that they can be replaced in a normal and daily bodily function, which in effect reduces or eliminates the risk of cancerous growth.
Nicotinic acid is water soluble and is not stored in any quantities in the body so it requires constant replacement, as smokers do.
If you are determined to force people to quit smoking, doctors should be following a more ethically consistent path [the ethics of forcing autonomous choices aside]. Advising smokers to ease the transition, with appropriate dosages of vitamin B compounds, there is not an equitable benefit found, in over priced smoking patches or gum, which release nicotine directly into the blood stream and can never produce a small proportion of the beneficial effects a smoker experiences by inhaling oxidized nicotine.
You don't get high on cigarettes your body just gets more efficient, which to some, may seem like a high.
Instead of simply throwing out the usual denials why don't even just one of you Tobacco Control lemmings, look for yourself? The proof of the claims is out there, and found in many venues, all you have to do is find the courage to look at it with an open mind.
http://research.exercisingyourmind.com/2007/05/20/pdr-niacin-nicotinic-acid.aspx
"Niacin is a member of the B-vitamin family. It is sometimes referred to as vitamin B3. Nicotinic acid was first discovered as an oxidation product of nicotine and thus, the origin of its name. In fact, much of the confusion caused by the use of the term niacin for both nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, as well as for nicotinic acid alone, was created by the attempt to dissociate nicotinic acid from its nicotine origins. Niacin, via its metabolites, is involved in a wide range of biological processes, including the production of energy, the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and steroids, signal transduction, the regulation of gene expression and the maintenance of genomic integrity."
What is keeping the medical community from coming to grips with the truth, is found in the overbearing egos which dominate their trade; those most at risk of being found out, for the lies they have been promoting in the public domain for decades.
Lies from the ‘experts”, which can only enhance; the financial benefits and growth of preventable human suffrage. When people smoke in higher numbers health effects by smoking related disease are the lowest. Look at the baby boomers for proof. At birth they were predicted to live to 65 years, more than half of them smoked and most of them will surpass 80 years of age with less physical labor demands on them than any generation in history.
How did they get so strong and resilient to a battery of extreme levels of pollutants and stress in our fast paced world?
Smoking could be seen in a much different light, as a feast of discovery and possibilities, once the cult of public health and industrialized medical charity, are seen for the damage they do, in exchange for what they take from us, in dividing communities with promotions of paternalist dependency which they hope to dictate, when we should be much more confident in depending upon each other. A confidence which worked well for thousands of years, before the institutions of public health and charity foundations were formed, and their advertising agency fears were invented to destroy our confidence.
A profit center, sold with “liberal oppression” a term at first glance; which should be seen as an oxymoron and at second glance, as a cult of radical tyranny.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. “
C.S. Lewis.
