Agroup of citizens is very serious about banning smoking in public places. which course of action is the best way for the group to influence government smoking policies?

The course of action that would be best way for the group to influence government smoking policies is to to start an initiative on the ballot for banning smoking in public places. This ballot would definitely force the hands of the government and bow to the will of the people. The creation of a political pressure group regarding this matter can also help.
