What most of us here know is that it has nothing to do with smoking.
You may be right but I'm not so sure of that. It is difficult to oppose something that on its surface is a good thing because of an ulterior motive I don't see but may be there.

But it DOES! It has EVERYTHING to do with smoking! Not YOUR smoking but the 'breathing in of your smoke' that your smoking in public places causes non smokers to do. We don't want to smoke just because you are smoking. Smoking sections are a failure and these bans are the result. Go smoke at home, honest, we don't care.
