Do you really think that the anti-smoking groups are better funded then the pro-smoking groups

Yes.
The tobacco companies are scared out of their wits to fund almost ANY pro-smoking group.
The anti-smoking groups, OTOH, are funded by the smokers themselves via the MSA the fed/state govs forced the tobacco companies into.

Come to think of it you may be right. In the old days, when the first smoking bans were being proposed, there was a lot of tobacco money funding the opposition. I can certainly se how the situation may have changed in recent years.
