Being a smoker is hardly the apiosis of conservatism. Most, if not nearly all conservatives, support freedom over slavery. Do you personally disagree?

I'd say majority. There are, however, a significant minority that want to use the government to eliminate behaviors that bother them. This is hardly a person who appreciates freedom.

I have tried to find any real word that remotely matches or approaches “apiosis” to no avail, but after re-reading your posts and those to which you responded, I am encouraged to venture a wild guess - “antithesis?”

WTF? A true "conservative" doesn't believe in a Police State kicking in the doors of your business and telling you that you can no longer allow adults to engage in smoking. I'm sure there's something you're "addicted" to that I don't like, but I don't get the government to forbid it. You "don't like" smoking. Fine. There are millions of places that are smoke free that you can enjoy. Nobody is "forced" to go into a pub that allows smoking.
