Though governments have banned smoking and increased tobacco taxes the number of smokers has increased
Even though special interest organizations, like Nicoderm & Nicorette manufacturer Johnson & Johnson Company's Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), have spent hundreds of millions of dollars funding intermediaries like American Lung Association etc. to lobby for smoking bans and increased taxes.....the total number of smokers has actually increased.The lasting legacy of smoke free laws by special interests like J & J / RWJF who profited from them, will be that they caused the closure of tens of thousands of hospitality establishments; eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs, with NO benefit of decreasing smoking rates.
Update: Greek officials re-evaluate smoking ban amid reports of "significant decrease in business," an association of about 16,000 owners said.
