The state controls state laws for all people and what the cities may control. Cities are not anarchical entities that operate without state oversight. Cities are located within the state and are subject to state law.

Horse vomit. Then why are all these cities enacting smoking bans without the state's permission then?

Cities and municipalities are sovereign entities just like states are (supposedly) sovereign from the feds.

Another name for dope?

Because the state let them. Some states allow local preemption, some don't.
