I don't disagree. I also think they can push the "fear" of covid to a degree they are unable to with smoking. Nobody is scared of smokers, but the are scared of a virus, even though the end result is not a lot different. Not a lot unlike covid, I can "social distance" from smokers without the government telling me I must wear a gas mask.
