You are correct. All behavior is mandated by the government, which is fine with you, as long as you agree with the mandate. What happens when you don't agree with the mandate?
It really is scary how gubmint social engineering through taxpayer funded PSAs can change and mold peoples opinions.
When I used to smoke, I would never smoke in my car with my kids. I didn’t need a law. I’ll say it again...
If you put a gun to my head and forced me to sign one of 2 stupid nanny state laws:
Ban smoking in cars with children or
Ban smoking in bars with fat drunk adults
I would choose the former. But this is all really about Big Pharma funded front groups like ACS, ALA, CTFK doing their benefactors bidding. Coercing people to quit smoking and buy nicotine replacement gums, patches for $50.
They don’t care about the chilruns. It’s about the money.
