Madam, - No smoking in the office, no smoking in the shop, no smoking in the pub, no smoking in the company car or the firm's lorry or van. Where is this madness going to stop?
If this habit is so harmful to society that it requires such legislation to protect society from its effects, surely the Government should have the courage, and indeed the duty, to go straight to the source of the problem and ban the sale, consumption and possession of tobacco altogether.
It seems to me to be the logical answer. But then, what would I know? I am, after all, a pipe smoker, and therefore stupid, irresponsible and anti-social. - Yours, etc.,
J.K. BRENNAN, Coleraine, Co Derry.
