I recall the government attempts in France over a generation ago to ban smoking in cafes and related places. The day it came in everybody continued life as normal ,disregarding the government decree as anti choice and against the principles of the revolution. It was quietly forgotten and not resurrected until a considerable number of years later, when smoking was anyway of the wane and the process was introduced in a less abrupt manner.
Germany, too only complied to a ban on smoking later. This was under EU directive and not a government decision. They done it sensibly by allowing smoking areas in airports and the like. All stopped over time, in fact laws enacted when I was in the country at the time.
When they banned smoking in pubs and clubs over here a pub ashtray with cigarette butts was sealed in resin and sold on trademe for quite a good chunk of cash. Clever kiwi

A cleaver Kiwi, I like that. I expect the spot light of fame is still shining on that fellow.
Well you will build 'houses of cards' on the thinnest of grounds.
No, I just set you up to display your particular view on all things anti-Australia, and you give us all a good laugh. Win:Win. You're happy, the rest of us are happy.

Science by its nature, is only as conclusive, as until the next theory challenges the present status quo.
Australia is a changing smorgasbord ,with few indisputable facts, but assumptions and differing political angles attempting to sell own narrative as the 'truth'.
Also, of course, the more risk adverse a society becomes, the more control can be implemented. (purely for own good, of course, to wild public applause)

Here are two indisputable facts: Australia is an ageing population, and Australia has one of the highest standards of living in the world.
