Letters: Smoking, teaching and housing
With Monday’s Question of the Week, we asked readers for their thoughts on Johnson City’s plan to enact an ordinance banning smoking in public parks. Here is a response we received.
Smoking is unhealthy
The answer to your question about banning smoke in parks, etc is simple. It’s YES!
I am not interested in taking away the rights of others, but trying to enlighten our community on how the rights of others who choose not to smoke or are on oxygen are taken away even if there is a smoking area.
Even with a designated smoking area, the smoke travels great distances. I would like to encourage everyone who smokes to quit as soon as possible. I know it’s hard because I have watched my family members struggle for years and some losing their lives to smoking.
