Following submissions against noise and exhaust fumes by the anti-mower lobby group, the Government has passed a law which makes it an offence to use a motor mower on Sundays. A bit far fetched? Maybe not. Following submissions by a small group of anti-smoking extremists, the Government is now looking at laws that will fine people $5OO for smoking a cigarette almost anywhere. In a free society is this a role for our elected representatives? We think not. We think Government elimination of choice is a matter that should concern everyone — smokers and non-smokers. We are not advocating smoking. Just the right to choose. We recognise that cigarette smoke can be bothersome to some non-smokers. But we believe both parties can work out their differences together, in the spirit of tolerance, fairness and respect for each others rights and feelings. i ifl nizyzzia ||iii A little consideration beats a lot of legislation Science has not established that other peoples cigarette smoking causes disease among non-smokers.
