Some advice I found on their site:
Fight Smoking Bans

Be pro active instead of reactive.

There are only a few Antis taking rights away from a lot of people. There are a lot of smokers, and even more non-smoking folks who are fed up with the Antis taking away personal freedom.
The antis are well funded and do this for a living. When a smoker or non-smoker doesn't like being told what to do on their own property, the Antis reply by screaming that the person must be a front for "Big Tobacco."
Any opinion other than theirs is wrong and you are not allowed to ask why.
Think of the bully in the school yard when you were a kid. This is what he's grown up to be. He knows people will do what he says because he's lied so much that most sheeple take the lies as truth without question.
When you ask for proof of his statements, he enters into his magic act of deceit, smoke and mirrors. Listen carefully for his real message… "Because I said so."
If you already have parents and don't want more, force this bully to give you the proof to backup his statements.

... Make a stand. If you live in an area that has no smoking in eating places, pack a lunch to take to work for you and several friends and invite those who would normally go to a restaurant, and have your lunch where you can smoke. Or enjoy a picnic outside of an Anti owned establishment. Invite friends to your home for a BBQ, get back to the old fashioned home entertaining concept and keep your money out of Anti owned establishments. How do you know who is just a victim of the ban like yourself? Support the places who fought the ban, and boycott the ones who not only found joy in the ban, but bragged about it in the media. Hire a victim restaurant to cater your next party at home instead of going out.

you live in an area that has smoking places, then shop, eat and entertain only at those places.


... Spend wisely. Find the cheapest possible place to buy cigarettes. There is no point in giving the government any more money than we have to. And, if you really want to make a point, remember that you can change brands, roll your own, or even grow your own.

So,and I agree with certain with and I say BOYCOTT THE BRANDS if your drinking at home,try something new and independant, NAME AND SHAME the pubs that have done nothing for their smoking punters, PRAISE and frequent the ones that have, network and spread the message that we smokers don't have to lie down and accept this draconian ban-the smoking ban is shit.
