Whether the subject is smoking or anything else - there are those who feel they know what's best for all - ah, as long as "What's Best For All" doesn't materially affect them...
Those who would appoint themselves as knowing what's best for all are part of our existing and growing "Nanny-State".
Most of us value our individual freedoms and want to keep them, even if at times those freedoms like smoking or owning guns or jumping out of perfectly good airplanes or scuba diving or... isn't universally approved of, cuz hey, they may cause others to feel uncomfortable or gosh, make insurance rates go up, maybe...

Re: Uh Oh, looks like this could lead to a Smoking ban
Why would anyone want to shoot or own guns?
I just don't get it.

Re: Uh Oh, looks like this could lead to a Smoking ban
There should also be a fatty foods ban too i.e., no cheese burgers, ice cream, (sorbet is O.K.) certain sausages, and so on.
The sight of the massively corpulent, jiggling tubs of human protoplasm lurching about here, there and everywhere makes me lose my appetite. If they didn't eat so much fatty food they'd shape up and meet with my approval, sniff...
Let's ban alcohol - ah, wait, that's been tried...
Well, anyway, let there be bans of all kinds - you know, those kinds that we can get on the band wagon with and really enjoy with a rousing smug satisfaction.
I hope to get on the "Lets ban what we don't approve of ban wagon committee" as I've LOTS of other items I wish to see banned - don't you?
