Smoking In Buses
Sir, —Auckland has clean buses; Wellington considers the banning of smoke in transport. Christchurch turned it down. The saving of expense is Wellington's reason. Why not realise the health menace here and have done with it? During the winter, pipes and cigarettes were allowed almost anywhere in ill-ventilated buses. Adults and children coughed in rank, stale fumes: protest brings insult from the offender, and smoking drivers are in no position to enforce the use of the rear compartment by smoking women and surreptitiously indulging passengers standing in crowded aisles. The sooner medical reasons are brought to bear for health protection the better. Bus travel can be sickening and an mfliction upon the rights of unoffending citizens.— Yours, etc., FOLLOW AUCKLAND FOR PROGRESS. September 6. 1963.
