Friday, November 15, 2002But you definitely wouldn't be harmed if the handful of smokers in your office were allowed to smoke only in a common room with good ventilation. Why wouldn't that be a civilized and acceptable compromise? A smoking room in public places and office buildings would definitely be a better alternative to having people clumped around the entrances to public places puffing away. It would be less annoying to non-smokers who have to walk through the smoke cloud to enter the building, and it would be more comfortable for the smokers. She's right, too, about liberals being the least tolerant when it comes to the foibles of smokers. I once belonged to a group practice in which one of the physicians, a vocal liberal, proposed we dismiss all of our HMO patients who failed to quit smoking. They were too much of a financial risk for the practice, she argued. The proposal was voted down, but the few who supported it were of the most liberal bent. posted by Sydney on 11/15/2002 08:11:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
