Lighten up on smokers please

I was disturbed to read Justin Kelly’s well-written letter of March 19 about the ‘smoking gun’.

Did I get a whiff of totalitarianism? We must always oppose such solutions before they gain traction.

Justin’s description of smokers’ actions belongs more in the realm of theory. It does not accord with my experience of reality. It would be just as illogical to say that listening to a car radio or talking to passengers distracts drivers. Excessive speed is the real killer on our roads.
