antismoker

Against lighting up

An antismoker is someone who actively opposes smoking or smokers.

The term often carries a dismissive tone, used by smokers or tobacco advocates to characterize their critics as zealots rather than public health proponents: The antismokers won't rest until cigarettes are banned entirely.

Less commonly, it describes products or policies designed to discourage smoking.
