Your support is needed to keep up the fight for personal choice, and so that we can keep pushing back against the agenda of the anti-smoking cartel!
YesSIR-TN (Yes Smoking In Restaurants) was founded by an ordinary citizen as a way for ordinary citizens to fight a new type of prohibition crusade - against tobacco, and hence against tobacco users.
Many - but certainly not all - of our members and supporters are smokers. What we really have in common is a concern that today's aggressive, government-supported anti-smoking puritanism is leading to a number of highly undesirable consequences: a "drug-war" style stigmatization of one-quarter of the population; onerous taxation disproportionately aimed at lower income earners; run-away litigation resulting in a massive transfer of wealth to lawyers and government; increasing disrespect for the idea of individual lifestyle choice; the dangerous debasement and misrepresentation of science in order to expedite a political agenda.
YesSIR-TN is not a creature of the tobacco industry, and does not receive funding from Big Tobacco. This means we do not have to "toe the line" within the confines of some corporate agenda. It means we are free to call 'em as we see 'em - and to criticize not only the opponents of tobacco, but the tobacco industry (which we frequently do). It also means that your financial support is even more important, to ensure the continuation of this independent voice against the corruption of the anti-tobacco cartel.
