Ban the Ban Wisconsin
Description
Ban the Ban Wisconsin was started by two concerned citizens - a smoker and a non-smoker - who strongly oppose a statewide smoking ban on privately-owned property and fiercely stand against the discrimination and insidious harassment of smokers in the state of Wisconsin, this great country and throughout the world.
We're completely grassroots and our only motivating factor is the preservation of rights, lifestyle and choice. Today we have four strictly volunteer "staff" members and a number of regular members througout the
state of Wisconsin.
Our primary goal is to help protect the basic rights of Wisconsin residents and business owners, preserve the economic viability of rural and out-state communities and help maintain lifestyle choices. While our principle efforts are focused on Wisconsin, our work extends globally.
Our mission is to neither encourage nor discourage smoking; rather, we advocate for the individualís right to choose based on facts and the truth, without government interference, oppressive legislation, special interest pressure or berating harassment from others.
We hope to encourage a healthy debate that fosters free-thought by offering valid arguments and alternatives to excessive legislation and social denormalization where smokers and tobacco are concerned.

BmB
Description
The Bund mündiger Bürger (Federation of Independent Citizens) came into existence in Autumn 2007, when members of a FORCES-Germany regional chapter realized the need to "go political“ due to the total lack of any party within the political spectrum adequately committed against the Nanny State concept.
Finding no party representing the interests of the autonomous citizen against a worldwide movement of official and semi-official do-gooders trying to reduce the last remains of former civil liberties to cinders, we found it necessary to create a political party of our own. The BmB stands for the conservation of civil rights and a social security system worth of that name. We abhor censorship, rules for data retention, and all tendencies of a "Big Brother“ state. Further, we try to beat all those „Might-Be“ Nannies with their own means, especially by tracing all those nice big footprints left by international health lobbyism (WHO et al.).
So far, we are a small party. We have been officially registered as a party by the German Federal Election Supervisor in March 2008. We have established two regional chapters in Württemberg and in Bavaria (three more are in preparation). While we have yet to reach a thousand members, our talks with frustrated citizens so far have been very promising (Remember: We originally started with seven people!). We admit it: We started as a quite naive group of politically "innocent“ citizens, just somehow dissatisfied. The more insight into the political machinations we got, the more we sensed the need for a change. A big change. Accordingly, the BmB plans to participate in the 2009 elections for the European Parliament. Any activists are welcome!

Citizens Against Government Encroachment (C.A.G.E. - "Citoyens Anti Gouvernement Envahissant")
Description
Citizens Against Government Encroachment (C.A.G.E. - "Citoyens Anti Gouvernement Envahissant") was created to counter the multi-pronged assault on personal liberties and lifestyle choices of ordinary people. CAGE promotes the idea that happiness and good health (in that order) are best pursued by responsible, educated and well-informed adults in control of their own choices. It opposes state-directed harassment of those who do not choose to conform to all aspects of the "officially approved healthy lifestyle," or the imposition of coercive legislation to force behavioral compliance. Most importantly, CAGE seeks to unite people around these basic principles, thus creating a political majority actively opposed to invasive government legislation. It is only by mobilizing people around such a basic, broad ideology, that attitudes such as "I don't cycle/smoke/hang-glide/eat 'x' food/own an affected business, so why should I oppose this new law?" can be overcome.
C.A.G.E. was incorporated in Canada as a non-profit organization in January 2005, and immediately went to work sponsoring debates at McGill University in Montreal, signing up members, doing case studies, developing budgets, consulting with hospitality industry leaders, developing a political and social network, writing letters to government ministries and to the media, speaking to people on the street, in bars and in shopping malls, and actually meeting with municipal, provincial and federal level politicians.
C.A.G.E. became an official member of TICAP on May 29, 2008 pledging cooperation with the coalition on an international level.

Citizens Freedom Alliance (The Smoker's Club)
Description
Through strategic training, communication, and outreach, Citizens Freedom Alliance, Inc. advances a common sense approach under which individuals can control their destinies as free and responsible members of society. The group strives to secure economic liberty, smokers rights, taxpayer rights, private property rights, freedom of speech, and other vital individual liberties to restore constitutional limits on the power of government. In addition, Citizens Freedom Alliance, Inc. trains volunteers and supplies resources in the tactics of public interest topics. The group works with dozens of other smokers rights groups, freedom groups, and hundreds of individuals who are smokers, non-smokers, and some who are ex-antismoking extremists. Through these activities, the group challenges the ideology of the nanny state and illustrates and extends the benefits of freedom to those whose full enjoyment of liberty is denied by government.
Originally founded in 1994 as The Smoker's Club, Inc., is now a non-profit, tax exempt organization: Citizens Freedom Alliance, Inc. and The Smoker's Club. It has evolved into the leading online Newsletter for Smokers Rights, Property Rights, and other issues. It pursues cutting-edge news coverage in the courts of law and in the court of public opinion on behalf of individuals whose most basic rights are denied by the government -- like the right to earn an honest living, private property rights, and the right to free speech.
Simply put, Citizens Freedom Alliance, Inc. takes the government and antismoking extremists to task when they stand in the way of people trying to earn an honest living, when they unconstitutionally take away individuals' property, when bureaucrats instead of parents dictate the education of children, and when government stifles speech. We seek a rule of law under which individuals can control their destinies as free and responsible members of society. For more information, click here.

David Goerlitz & Associates
Description
Dave Goerlitz is a professional actor, producer, model,public speaker and educator. His career includes work in film, stage, commercial advertising and tobacco-free activism. Although he has been featured in highly successful commercials for a number of vendors, he is perhaps best known as the lead "Winston Man" in R.J. Reynolds' lucrative "Search and Rescue" advertisement series, which helped move Winston Cigarettes from Number 4 to Number 2 in worldwide sales. Goerlitz was featured in 42 of these ads, more than any other tobacco model, including the Marlboro Men.
In November 1988, Dave Goerlitz took a historic stand against the tobacco industry: he publicly participated in the "Great American Smoke-Out" and condemning the industry's advertising, which targets kids and their sale and their sale of tobacco products to the young people of the world. Since then, he has been honored by the World Health Organization, The American Cancer Society, The American Lung Association, and The American Heart Association on both the national and local levels. Over the past six years, he has told his story to over 5,000,000 young people and adults throughout North America, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and Sweden.
Recently, Goerlitz finds himself out of line with the anti-tobacco movement, a movement that has become preoccupied with ‘denormalizing’ smoking to the point where it is denormalizing human beings.

Les Dissident(e)s de Genève (DDG)
Description
Who we are and what we fight for...in Geneva/Switzerland
The non profit association « Geneva Dissidents » (Dissident(e)s de Genève / Switzerland) was established on 15th June 2008 by two famous Geneva attorneys-at-law and a 68 year-old retired journalist following the vote by the legislative body and a majority of 80 % citizens in favour of a Prohibition paragraph to be added to the Constitution of the State of Geneva, one of the 23 States of Federal Switzerland.
The issue of the smoking ban was raised by a group of anti-smokers in Geneva who launched a so called « popular initiative » whereby 10'000 citizens may put forward a new piece of legislation, provided it is in accordance with the local State and the Federal Constitution. Then, the issue must be submitted to the vote of all citizens.
Furthermore, there is also a Federal Prohibition law in Switzerland allowing pubs and restaurants smaller than 80 square meters to decide on their own whether they accept smokers or not but each of the 23 States is entitled to pass a more restrictive legislation. This is the case in the State of Geneva. Some villages (i.e: Erlinsbach) sitting on two States may be « smokers welcome» on the sunny side of the street and prohibited on the shadowy side:-)
Immediately after the historical vote in favour of Prohibition back in 2008, the Geneva State Government hastened to pass a very strict byelaw, from it's own will, without any debate and prior approval by the local Parliament. Prohibition was thus decreed and applied (illegally!) during the months of June, July and September 2008. The average intake loss for pub and restaurant owners amounted to ...50 % during that period!

- We co-operate with many pro-smoking and pro-choice groups, individuals and projects in Germany.
- We have close contacts to activists in other (partly) German speaking countries like Austria and Switzerland.
- We inform and educate politicians and raise our voice in law-making procedures.

FORCES International
Description
FORCES International is an organisation in support of human rights and - in particular, but not limited to – the defence of those who expect from life the freedom to smoke, eat, drink and, in general, to enjoy personal lifestyle choices without restrictions and state interference.
At the same time, FORCES is an organization in support of scientific integrity and the use of appropriate scientific methodology in the science which is claimed to be at the foundation of public policy. The issue of poor scientific/statistical methodologies, presented as unquestionable and sound science, and the further misrepresentation of the results of those faulty methodologies to the public to justify the current draconian public health policies are fundamental issues taken up by our organization.
FORCES INTERNATIONAL (Forces, Inc.) is a non-profit educational corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. Forces, Inc. has received a charitable tax exemption under US Internal Revenue Code 501(c)3. Your contribution may be tax deductible in the USA. FORCES is structured in a similar fashion in other countries, according to local laws.

FORCES Italiana
Description
FORCES Italiana is the Italian national chapter of FORCES International. It is structured in Italy as a non-profit Cultural Association. Imprinted by fundamental Libertarianism, our organization reports news and information through its web site, but its main task is the stimulation of citizens to associate against institutional corruption in general, and corruption of public health institutions in particular.
One task of our organization is to provide education against the epidemiological frauds on active and passive smoking, constantly disseminated by public health authorities through propaganda. Also, we concern ourselves with the general abuse of epidemiology and statistics for the purpose of behaviour control and social engineering, which we consider both a crime worthy of past totalitarian regimes, and a prevention of the natural and spontaneous intellectual and cultural evolution of nations.
Finally – and faithful to ancient Roman traditions - FORCES Italiana believes that pragmatic actions against what “public health” has become – as opposed to words or theories – it what it takes to change the current tide of prohibition, legislation and institutionalized misinformation before the social damage becomes permanent and irreparable.

FORCES Netherlands
Description
Although officially established in 2001, Forces Netherlands, as a chapter of Forces International, has been active in the Netherlands since 1999. Its objective is the same as that of the mother organization: provide alternative information about smoking that is not provided by the normal media and/or government and initializing actions against the prohibition of smoking. The organization had done so in the past nine years. It provided the alternative information through their website (www.forces-nl.org) and through media interviews, where it acted as a natural counterforce against the anti-smoking propaganda, effectively breaking the information monopoly of anti-smoking groups.
The most successful actions were in 2007 and in 2008, the year in which the Dutch smoking ban was introduced on July 1. In the summer of 2007, Forces Netherlands started a tour - with their action ship Arcadia- along many cities in Holland where they visited local bars, distributed petition forms against an upcoming smoking ban there that could be signed by their guests. This way, together with two other pro-smoking organizations, they gathered a record number of 100,000 signatures that were presented to the Minister of Health (MoH) and the parliament on October 12, 2007.
In 2008, they managed to gather about 600 bar-owners behind an initiative to set up a lawsuit against the Dutch Ministry of Health, claiming an exception for small hospitality organizations. This resulted in a provisional lawsuit on July 1, which did not result in its objective (the creation of an exemption for the smoking ban) but drew a lot of public attention in the media for the vulnerable situation of the small bars in regard of the smoking ban and changed the awareness of this problem in the general public and in parliament significantly. At this moment (August 2008), a new lawsuit against the MoH is being prepared as well as lawsuits resulting from fines being issued. At the same time new actions in parliament have been made possible through contacts with MP’s.

Freedom To Choose
Description
Freedom to Choose was founded in 2005 to oppose the introduction of a blanket smoking ban in the UK. We are a not for profit organisation funded solely by donations from our members, who come from all walks of life and are united in their determination to expose the myths about smoking that are eroding the freedom of British citizens.
We are a pro-choice organisation seeking accommodation of the needs of smokers and non-smokers alike to allow both to work and socialise in harmony. We can demonstrate that tolerant alternatives to a blanket smoking ban exist, are already working well in many other countries and that the majority of the UK population favour partial restrictions over a total ban.
Aims
i) To promote freedom of choice and oppose any coercive restraints upon that freedom by any lawful means and with particular reference to the negative effects of smoking bans on individuals, businesses and organisations
ii) To advance public education in such matters.
We campaign to highlight our objections to the current UK legislation, which include:
- Parliament and the general public have been misinformed on the health risks of second-hand smoke, which are not supported by most scientific studies in this area.
- The ban is already needlessly causing enormous and irreparable damage to the hospitality and entertainment industries.
- Communities are suffering as a result of their social venues closing.
- Smokers represent at least 1/4 of the UK adult population yet face discrimination and social exclusion on a daily basis.
- The UK ban is out of step with the majority of the rest of Europe, where smoking restrictions permit choice for venues and their customers.
Modern ventilation and air filtration can effectively remove 99.97% of airborne particles and make indoor air cleaner than outdoor, regardless of smoking.

National Smoking Day
Description
In the cold night air progress is a fruit salad,
When a cherry for warmth seems invalid,
Public health lost love for fags and cigars
So they congregate outside all the bars,
Four millennia some enjoyed the plant
Now they’re told they simply shan't
Columbus heard the hateful words
Perhaps you joined in, no one stirred,
They told those lies, no referendum
and no negotiation in this addendum
For just one day the forgotten one in three
Have a National Smoking Day to be free,
To relive the rights that went up in smoke,
When this dirty democracy became a joke,

Opponents of Ohio Bans
Description
"Opponents of Ohio Bans" is comprised of Ohio citizens and business owners who oppose all bans. Bans infringe on individual freedoms & choices and strip business owners of property rights, guaranteed under the Constitution.
Bans (like Ohio's smoking ban) are based on lies perpetrated by those who stand to profit financially, at the cost of our freedom. Nothing should be banned totally. We believe the American People can make intelligent choices without Government interference in their lives and businesses.
We came together because we all believe Americans/Ohioans should have choices. We're tired of being told what we can and cannot do by nanny voters & politicians who have lost sight of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. If THEY won't fight for us, then WE must!
Some of the members of OoOB also serve as Officers or on the Board of Directors of Buckeye Liquor Permit Holders Association. Several of us own bars, one owns a restaurant, some are various other business owners and still others are fighting for their right to use a legal product.

Partij tegen Betutteling voorheen Rokerspartij - Party against Nannyism formerly Smokersparty
Description
The Party against Nannyism formerly Smokersparty is a Dutch political party established in 2004 as Smokersparty. The name was subsequently changed because the smoking issue is just a small part of a world perils threatening the citizens of the Nanny State.
At the heart of the Nanny State is the conviction that they, the legislators, know better then you how you should live and die, and that, would you disagree, they have the right, even the obligation to use the means and might at their disposal to make you comply to their will. Compliance generated by force they call acceptance.
We choose to be a political party because we believe the only thing which really matters in politics is the fear of losing votes. We want to give people the possibility to vote against the Nanny State without disturbing the political spectrum.
Together with Forces Netherlands we organized resistance against the latest smoking-bans in Holland. As a result more than 100.000 signatures against these bans were presented to government during a demonstration we organized in The Hague 12 October 2007.
Beforehand one of our political party’s emailed us even a 1.000.000 wouldn’t make then change their mind. That more than 30% of their voters might be smokers didn’t make them doubt for a second. As long as those nannied keep silent and stay sulking at home no politician will stand up to defend them. Our aim is to break the silence and give the nannied a voice.

PASAN
Description
PASAN (Pennsylvania Smokers Action Network) was launched in 2002. Founded by Michael J. McFadden it was originally focused largely on the fight against the shoehorn of a Philadelphia smoking ban. Philadelphia's Antismokers were beaten back for four years, but like vampires in bad movies they just kept coming back and barely pulled out a ban by a single vote in 2006. As PASAN had warned, Philadelphia was the crack in the dike, and the entire state of Pennsylvania fell two years later.
The loss was far from total however: many small bars can still allow smoking if they wish and upcoming state Casinos can also allocate smoking space. And, of course, people are still afforded the "privilege" of being allowed to smoke in their own homes and cars and even in a certain percentage of hotel rooms.
PASAN is dedicated to getting rid of virtually all government-mandated smoking bans in public places where people are not forced to congregate, and strongly supports the concept of good ventilation for both general health and comfort in either smoking OR non-smoking venues. It freely offers its aid and materials to free-choice activists around the world and has most lately been quite active in Hawaii, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, the UK, and Europe (in preparation for the TICAP - The International Coalition Against Prohibition) conference.

Rauchen NRW
Description
Millions of people in North-Rhine-Westphalia (the largest state in Germany) appreciate tobacco products. Many of them especially enjoy smoking tobacco in a convivial atmosphere.
In times of increasing over-regulation by the state, places, where you can smoke are oases of comfort and free self-development.
The smoking ban in NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) allows such oases: rooms of clubs whose purpose is smoking tobacco together. Such rooms can be in the hospitality sector, sports, cultural or other venues.
Rauchen NRW offers just that: Bar/restaurant owners and venues among its member leave rooms to our association so that every member of Rauchen NRW is allowed to smoke there.
Of course also all non-smokers are invited if they identify with the purposes of our association.

Tobacco Smokers of Canada
Description
Tobacco Smokers Of Canada attempts to get the news media to report our side of the issue, which is no longer done – and, in fact, it is deliberately suppressed. In particular, what is suppressed is the fact that there are many scientists, researchers, professionals -- and millions of people -- who do not believe the anti-smoking claims about second hand tobacco smoke.
