: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. | :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.

: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. | :Siegel is correct that a popular backlash against Tobacco Control has long been forming and is rapidly growing.
