RAILWAY SMOKING CARRIAGES.
TO THE EDITOR. S r, —Perhaps you could enlighten me as to whether there is any by-law against smoking in carriages on the New Zealand railways not set apart for that purpose. I travel daily on the railways, and am frequently annoyed by men persisting in smoking in carriages other than those intended for that purpose. If I make any objection or remind them civilly that there is a smoking carriage a little further down or up as the case may be, all I get is abuse or something akin to it. If there is such a by-law I think it is seldom put in force. Surely ft i» hard that people like myself, who detest the smell of tobacco (to say nothing about Win* to swallow the smoke which those who use tobacco pfiff out) should have ho means of
protecting themselves from what is to them a nuisance. The railway authorities admit that smokers have certain rights by providing special carriages for them. Why then are non-smokers denied equal tights?—l am, etc., Constant Tuavelibk. Dunedin, April 18.
