I don’t disagree at all with the arguments made against the smoking bans. But this is a fight we’ve lost, and I was just trying to explain why. When anti-smoking advocates changed their point of discussion away from how harmful smoking is to smokers to how harmful smoking supposedly is to non-smokers, they broke the bank and won the day. And smokers have a tough time arguing the point at all, since they all know (and I speak from experience) that there’s really no positive case to be made for smoking and that they all should quit anyway.
