While I have not attended the meeting because I live in Los Angeles, I'll comment regardless.
I believe this resolution to be one the past - the health risks have been so clearly enumerated time and time again that many people have developed disdain for smokers premised on the smokers' stupidity. Smokers are looked at as weak beings who cannot stupor their compulsions that will surely and factually kill them. With this knowledge so broadly distributed both through the media and the American education system, I believe that the cool image of smoking has deteriorated in this modern era.
