 :It should be noted however that many in the Free Choice community are still quite critical of Siegel's stance in a number of areas. Some feel, and have argued strongly, that Siegel's criticisms of some anti-smoker policies may simply represent a tactical view designed to support "effective" anti-smoking policies rather than representing any real philosophical criticism of anti-smoking goals.
 :Siegel is correct that a popular backlash against Tobacco Control has long been forming and is rapidly growing. His prescription for tactical adjustment of TC policies (which some have compared to Mikhail Gorbachev's 1980s policy of attempting preservation of Communism in the USSR through institution of moderate reform) is likely to fail to preserve the core of more basic Tobacco Control objectives from ultimate destruction by the excesses of the extremists.  Those he has become critical of generally seek total denormalization and  prohibition despite any human costs involved.

 :Founder of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), Banzhaf has never met a smoking restriction he did not like, having spoken in support, for example, of bans in apartment and condominium complexes, and job discrimination against smokers. All the way back in 2006 he made it clear that his ultimate intention was total control of smokers, even in their homes: [http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2006/02/26/states-time-to-stub-out-smoking.html "Here we are literally reaching into the last frontier  — right into the home...

 :Bero has been given substantial RWJF money for this project, the results of which were published in ''JAMA'' (''Journal of the American Medical Association'') in 1999.
