Dancing in the streets because of one guy quitting his job that advocates quitting smoking as a healthy choice????

No, because he valued political correctness above science in declaring secondhand smoke a health hazard. This is similar to the WHO study that found that seconhand smoke either had no effect or had a protective effect. They deemphasized the study because it didn't fit in with their preconceptions. And look at what the same mindset did when Ruckelshaus unilaterally banned the use of DDT against the advice of his own scientific panels: millions of people have died as a result. I don't think that millions would die from promoting the "secondhand smoke kills" myth, but the myth is used by health Nazis to ban smoking in all sorts of venues resulting in grave economic impact on restaurants and bars and certain entertainment. Such advocacy should be funded out of the pockets of the advocates, not from the public till. They don't put their own money where their mouths are, instead, they claim, "What I want you to do is SO important that YOU should pay for it."
