This is why the denormalization campaign by big government social engineering types against cigarette smokers was so repugnant to freedom loving people.
If they got the smokers, by shaming and denormalizing their behavior through social engineering culturally, they can get anybody. That’s the blueprint.

Hard to conceal a cigarette that you’re trying to smoke.
Easy to conceal a handgun that you’re carrying to defend yourself.
Shaming just don’t work against the latter behavior.
