Not against, but FOR. They wanna get em’ young. I’m willing to bet that we aren’t far away from seeing tobacco companies starting to fight to have indoor smoking bans lifted and tobacco advertising to be more permitted and aggressive.

Some rollbacks against tobacco have happened in New Zealand. Some of the strongest legislation against smoking ever enact was repealed a while ago. Not because it was seen as excessive or too hard on smokers, but entirely due to lobbying by the tobacco lobby.
