Most of the laws you are referring to, such as the smoking indoors, were created from public outcry, not from a huge government agency suddenly making the decision to take away individual's rights. Most of the time, it's because we prove ourselves to be irresponsible that is the catalyst for these laws to be put into place.
Government only exists because people don't want the responsibility (nor do they seem to have the capability) of governing themselves.
So when you ask about government and what "it" wants, it's best to look at yourself and your community to get the answer, because we are the government.
