I'd bet decent money that the anti-smoking movement started by a transplanted Californian. The same thing happened in Nevada when the head of the anti-smoking jihad in Cali moved to Vegas (apparently, after she created her dream state back in Cali she still wasn't happy and had to come oppress more people in NV). The do-gooders (who don't want the Feds in their bedroom but do want them in your house if you smoke) just can't live unless they can force everybody else to believe what they believe.

Actually, this is just the tip of the iceberg. When Big Tobacco fell to their knees in front of the Attorney Generals, the Tobacco Settlement was born.
From the MSA, state boards of health all across the United States jumped on the bandwagon and started creating these Partnerships for a Tobacco Free Everything. Which are being paid for by the taxes SMOKERS pay on cigarettes.
So, in all actuality, smokers themselves are paying for all the control, restrictions and bans by buying cigarettes and paying that tax.
Talk about "personal abuse!" Sickening isn't it?!
