It’s not really a ban it’s just a protection for other people’s personal freedoms, I for one would love to get freedom to not smoke in an outside cafe, yet others are choosing for me now.
That’s not a terrible analogy, but doesn’t resounding support a ban. It’s virtually unimaginable (and I suspect more or less legally impossible) that vaccination would be obligatory.
Yeah, what was legal/feasible 100 years ago might not be the best guide today. I mean no reasonable person would deny it would be better for public health.
That’s actually an interesting question. All the people I know who still smoke are left leaning and probably pro vaccine. I guess I don’t know many of the main smoking population (older lower socioeconomic status) so maybe there there’s more than coincidental overlap. It would be coherent I guess for the freedom over everything type people I suppose, depressingly.
There an element of personal freedom which people find important.

I mean… Just go to a cafe that doesn’t allow smoking at all? Are there none around?
No, there aren’t

When you smoke its not just your own health you ruin. It’s the same selfish thinking antivaxers have.

Vaccination in the past has been obligatory, eg for polio.
So has lobotomy for certain mental health patients. What’s your point?
