I see little point in trying to do this for an endless stream of

public smoking (FWVO "public") is socially acceptable.  We are
currently in an uneasy position, with public smoking in the transition
from acceptable to unacceptable (in most of the West, at least).  The
place I would prefer we be would be for public smoking to be
sufficiently uunacceptable that no laws are needed - for public smoking
to draw hurled insults from almost everyone and being spat upon &c.


Yeah, if that don't work we can start burning them at the stake.

On the other hand, lots of different groups of people have suffered
being spat upon - most continue on, persevering.
