Mandatory mask orders are pointless and immoral (if not illegal).
Not in public places. Just as you give up certain freedoms when you share a public roadway with others (ie you can only drive so fast, in a certain direction etc) you also give up the freedom to go naked or to smoke a cigarette when you enter other shared public places. In times of a highly contagious disease it is within the rights of government officialism and/or business owners to require masks in shared public places.
Even if much of the information about that disease is hyped and politicized.
Using anti-smoking laws is a poor example (as those are also immoral and pointless . . . and I say this as a person who detests being around cigarette smokers).
Mask wearing is demonstrated to be pointless by those experts advocating it: they almost universally say masks must be accompanied with social distancing and other mitigation efforts to be effective, and suggest we will be wearing masks for months or years to come; if it were effective enough to be useful, it would be reducing the spread of the disease to near zero without the need for social distancing or shutdowns, eliminating it in short order. Moreover, on the the common rational oft repeated by American experts, anyway, that wearing masks shows "we are all in this together" is expressly anti-scientific.
Mask orders are immoral in that they violate our freedoms (and cause discomfort and possible harm to our health) in attempt to support a goal (slowing - not stopping, mind you - the spread of a disease that is not dangerous to the vast majority of the population) in which many have no interest.
Masks orders are probably illegal in that, even ignoring the fact that they are enacted without reference to the will the of the electorate or the legislature, they treat healthy and sick people the same (i.e. the government can argue public interest in forcing a sick person to quarantine, but has no public safety interest in forcing a healthy person to wear a mask, and has no authority to treat health people as if they are sick, and more than it has authority to treat law abiding citizens as if they are criminals).
People should be allowed to make their own decisions based on the available data; if they choose riskier behavior, then so be it. For those that have a legitimate vulnerability, they should have the freedom to remain at home and social distance until/if herd immunity is achieved or a vaccine/treatment is available, but not demand that of everyone else.
