Clearing The Air

Minnesota's MSA funded anti-tobacco group ClearWay MN is running new anti-tobacco ads

CTA asks why is the new advertising necessary? Didn't smoking bans eliminate smoking and significantly reduce smoking rates? Apparently not, or the new ads wouldn't be necessary.

So ClearWay MN, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, American Non-Smoker's Rights etc. destroyed the local bar & restaurant industry for nothing. (locally nearly 500 Minnesota bars & restaurants fired employees and went out business since smoking bans were enacted, globally tens of thousands of establishments have closed since smoking bans were imposed on private businesses).

Evidently governments and pseudo-health organizations see global destruction of small businesses and increased unemployment as a success.....no wonder the worldwide economy is on the brink.

.....ClearWay MN go ahead and roll out the next commercial, at least the marketing companies and media have seen an increase in business since smoking bans were enacted. (Incidentally, that's exactly what the Nicoderm funded activists told lawmakers and hospitality business owners.....smoking bans would "increase business") ......obviously, lying is an acceptable form of lobbying.....for Nicoderm funded smoking ban activists that is.
