Whenever I see the R.J.Reynolds ads claiming that there is no need for
legislation because, smokers are, after all, thoughtful, cooperative people,
the attitude expressed so colorfully by "rossj" is what comes to mind.  As long
as there are people with attitudes like that, there can not be coexistence
between smokers and non-smokers without clear, enforceable, and enforced laws
regulating smoking.

P.S. to rossj: If you are a student, please drop by and ask for a job when
you finish -- and be sure to blow smoke in my face.  After all, I can always
just leave if I don't like it.

P.P.S. FOAD
