When are we gonna have stricter outcomes for the people who use such tactics to peddle things like bag bans, onerous management of residential water consumption, vehicle inspection requirements and other things that waste resources and political capital treating something that is at best a tiny fraction of whatever the problem supposedly is? These people at best do nothing and at worse sully the good name of people who want to enact smarter but less emotionally appealing policy to treat those problems. They've been caught repeatedly using the same sleazy tactics you say are worthy of stricter treatment.

Working to eliminate them in the interests of improved health and happiness for all humanity is not a bad thing and will not necessarily lead to banning whatever the bogey of the month happens to be.
