Health Conscious in a Bar? Give Me a Break!
RECEIVED Fri., Dec. 2, 2005
Dear Editor,
I have just one question for the writer of the letter titled "You Dirty Smokers!" in the Nov. 25 issue [“Postmarks”]: How would you like your cirrhosis of the liver? Quick or slow? I am tired of this health-conscious line that nonsmokers are using about the smoking ban in bars. You are going there to drink! That will kill you too. Did any of the nonsmokers in town ever think about how many people drunks kill every year? The author of the above-mentioned letter said that he'd spent more money on Sixth Street since the ban went into effect than in the last seven years. So he's killing himself faster because there's no smoke to breathe in the air. Let's get one thing straight; I don't like drunken nasty people throwing up on me or fearing driving down the road at two in the morning when last call is over, but that's part of going to a bar. Another part of going to a bar is smoke. Get used to it and drop the health-conscious ploy. Health conscious in a bar? Give me a break. Who are you kidding?
