One reason there's such a backlash is that smokers make up over 25% of the population, and that doesn't count those who use smokeless. It's a big number and I'm willing to bet we're in the top 3 nationally in the number of smokers.
Seeing that it's State land and Gov't property, I imagine they can do whatever they want.
They can ban ATV's, ban hunting, ban fishing, ban camping, ban campfires on Gov't land on a whim if they wanted to. I don't see where this is any different.
I don't mean to be nit-picky, but I don't think smokers come near being 25% of the population, either country-wide or state-wide in Oklahoma.
