Perhaps it’s about public health. I know I hate walking next to people smoking because I value my health and take care of my body, and considering the places it was banned I wouldn’t totally make the jump to declare that the motivation is control.
That is the charade. If it was truly about our health they would be fining and controlling the multi-national corporations that are pumping tons upon ton upon tons of dangerous toxins, mercury, etc. into our air and drinking water. It starts with smoking. Just like there are thousands upon thousand of surveillance cameras around watching all of us, every day in the name of security while our borders remain wide open where any would-be terrorist can stroll in. That is why this is really about control. Its to get you to acquiesce to a “nanny state.”
