The 'Smokefree Ideology' is a totalitarian and oppressive midst that must be countered at every turn. It all started with weak assertions of health concerns (all fraught with extensive biases) and then moved to its true prohibitionist core. There is no justification for outdoor smoking bans and close examination of the data show there actually is no justification fr indoor bans either. The assault on smokers and obliteration of liberty on behalf of an activist0imposed moral crusade must end.
