You guessed it, it's all about the money they'll make in return.....selling nicotine patches.

Update: The latest RWJF grants to finance smoking bans, are found here.

Meanwhile our politicians are duped, wittingly or not, and thousands of people are put out of work, by the exaggerations from the non-profits; American Lung, American Cancer, American Non-Smokers Rights Foundation, American Medical Association; nearly every university in the country including the U of M, etc.; all of whom have accepted hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying money from the very same pharmaceutical nicotine affiliated Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

While the reality about secondhand smoke has been proven by a local health department to be 150 times safer than OSHA regulations require."
