On top of this, there is the human rights argument: “Everybody should be free to choose whether or not they take the risk of smoking.” This is the stance of movements like “Forest”, which labels itself the “voice and friend of the smoker”. Forest members use a variety of spurious arguments to try to justify their collective slavery to nicotine addiction. For example, they state that tobacco sales bring in billions in taxation. So never mind the people who lose their lives as a result, it’s all justified by the money!

They also argue that the public smoking ban has led to many older smokers no longer going to bars but drinking and smoking at home instead – the implication being that old people are being forced into social isolation by the ban on smoking in public places. It’s not the smoking ban that’s forcing them into isolation; it’s their addiction to nicotine, an addiction that Forest works hard to maintain.

Forest epitomizes the false belief that smokers are in control of their smoking and their decision to smoke is a rational choice. They are missing two vital points:

Smokers have no freedom anyway. They do not choose to get hooked any more than a fly chooses to get trapped by the pitcher plant. Neither do they choose to remain smokers.

Smokers do not enjoy smoking or vaping. They only think they do because they’re drug addicts, and so they feel most miserable when they’re not allowed to smoke.
