What does FORCES mean?
FORCES is an acronym for Fight Ordinances and Restrictions to Control and Eliminate Smoking, which was (and still is) its original purpose. However, due to the expansion of the Therapeutic State, our organization has also expanded its scope. Created in 1995, the group has expanded in many American states and in several nations such as Germany, Italy, the Netherlands – as it is becoming clearer that the repression of smoking – and the use of junk science to justify it – exceeds by far the simple ban of lighting a cigarette in public places. It implies a subversion of ethics, politics and social values mostly at the service of powerful pharmaceutical corporations on one hand, and state social engineering and control on the other.
