Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Johnson & Johnson Company "rent seeking" efforts now seek to eliminate your property rights at home
Emboldened by the success they've achieved in circumventing the property rights of small business owners while eliminating the jobs of employees in the hospitality industry thru smoking bans. The unethical pharmaceutical nicotine industry now moves on to what they hope will increase alternative nicotine product sales at an astronomical "rent seeking" pace.As proof, below is a funding grant by the Nicoderm backed RWJF to city officials in Portland Maine. Guess which city will be proposing a smoking ban in the home?

Pro-smoking ban activists and complicit lawmakers have created an unstoppable corporate welfare monster which no longer is bound to adhere to any private property rights. Your property rights are free for the raiding, and many lawmakers are only too happy to oblige.
