The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-08-10, Page 5Rights for the smoker
Dear Sir:
We are a newly formed organization, at-
tempting to secure amendments to many of
the recent by-laws concerning smoking.
We are considerate, responsible, taxpay-
ing citizens, who feel the present by-laws
contravene all democratic rights and
principles.
We do not wish to offend non-smokers who
are truly bothered by second hand smoke,
nor do we wish to argue that smoking is good
for you.
We would point out that smoking is
recognized as an addiction, by the World
Health Organization, and as long as smok-
ing continues to be a legal product, smokers
must be given consideration.
Toronto has recently passed a "Smoking
in the Workplace" by-law, smoking has
been banned on buses, and on airline flights
of less than two hours. Hospitals are making
patients stand outside, regardless of the
weather, in order to smoke. Many govern-
ment offices, where we are forced to wait
for hours on end, have banned smoking.
We feel that there are many other factors
contributing to many of today's ills, in-
cluding automobile emissions, toxic waste
dumping, acid rain, and general pollution,
THE EDITOR
however, these things are ignored by the
government.
Since smokers are a largely unorganized,
unrepresented group in the government,
they have quietly decided to place the ills of
the world on our shoulders.
It is time for smokers and sympathetic
non-smokers to show their leaders that they
do object to what is going on.
We are presently collecting names on peti-
tions, in order to present them to our politi-
cians, and if you would be interested in sign-
ing, or having a petition sent to you, we
would ask that you drop us a line. Don't
forget to include your name and address.
We would also like to point out; just
because these laws may not have affected
your area yet, don't feel too secure. Many
municipalities and cities are awaiting the
effects, before deciding if they will follow
suit.
Yours very truly,
Katherine Mellon
