THANK YOU, MICHIGAN

The Michigan Legislature has debated and discussed and anguished and argued and finally decided that good health is more important than the right of smokers to inflict their habit on all those folks around them, smokers and nonsmokers.

What a difficult, traumatic, difficult decision!!!!

The right to smoke has long been protected as a fundamental right of free men and women of these United States.

Say what???????????

A fundamental freedom that wars have been fought for, that men and women have died for.

Come to think of it, smoking is an alleged right that has caused the death of countless people, in one way or another.

You really would think you were discussing part of the Bill of Rights.

Finally, Michigan Legislature – you have stressed and strained and brought forth a no-brainer –

Thank you.
