New Curbs on Cigarette Smoking
Regarding the airline smoking ban: Unbelievable! Who can remember the last time the government did something for us instead of to us?
And as for the inconsiderate minority stupid enough to smoke (and none who expose others to cancer can claim to be considerate), before you scream about your “right” to smoke on flights, consider: You have as much right to do so as I have to spray some other carcinogen on passengers from an aerosol can.
And as for the pleas that because of your drug addiction (and that’s exactly what it is), you will suffer discomfort from not having a “shot” of nicotine during the flight, I and all the other non-addicts can only say, “Good”!
