Smoking in public
Sir,—The New Zealand Clean Air Society once again pledges its support for the restriction of smoking in public places. This prohibition would apply to all public transport on all distances, as there are frequent enough stops for smokers. It would apply to all public buildings and to any office where there are non-smokers, to all shops where food is sold and all places where food is consumed — anywhere, in fact, where the quality of the non-smokers’ environment and their health is threatened. As an ex-smoker I can empathise with addicts to the weed. In Stockholm 10 years ago there were dual restaurants which kept both factions happy. Indoor planning to segregate smokers is a necessity. There is now enough proof to insist that, if smokers wish to dice with chronic ill-health or uncomfortable death, they may, they have no right to foist this fate upon those who have to share their living space.—Yours, etc., JANET R. HOLM,
President, N.Z. Clean Air Society. September 23, 1983.
