re: smoking flame

I agree 100% with the sentiments expressed.  Not that this is news, but 
everyone who believes that polluting air is an inhumane and morally 
punishable offense should do something about it.  One thing you can
do is support GASP, Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution.  I belong
to the Colorado group, which has over 1000 members, not all of them
in CO.  The address:  GASP of Colorado, 12568 Maria Circle, Broomfield, 
CO   80020,  (303) 466-1294.   Dues are $10./yr, and some of the 
benefits are a monthly newsletter that keeps track of some of the
progress being made for non-smokers rights across the country, 
guides to various business establishments that either prohibit
smoking or have non-smoking areas, such as restaurants, beauty parlors,
and (I think) supermarkets; and a lobby at the state and local level 
for CO.  California has a similar organization, whose name escapes me
at the moment, and other states have GASP organizations.  Did you know 
that Minnesota has had a state law prohibiting smoking in public or at
least state workplaces for several years?  GASP also can serve as a 
source of information for people who want to explore non-smoking plans
for the workplace, or to find out what the legal climate is like in
case of an impending legal battle.  Enuf said, don't just bitch,
try to make a difference!!  We can do it.
