For the life of me I can’t understand why smokers endure this fascism.

If smokers voted in a block they would probably control every local election. This totally puzzles me why they don’t do this and simply quietly accept this.

Most people have internalized the demonisation of smokers, including smokers. Many, many agree with the leper status they have in America, and now, increasingly in Europe. And I don’t anyone expected the draconian bans, including nightclubs and bars. After all, restaurants had banned it and bars were the only place left.

I haven’t met many bartenders who like it, but some have.

>>get everyone on the same playing field

Ah, yes, once one town bans, the others use this argument.
