Letter: Some smokers just don’t get it

In response to Bradley Kuhns ' "right to smoke wherever he wants" letter (Friday) :

I'm constantly amazed by how a small percentage of smokers just don't get it.

Smoking is the one drug habit where anyone who is in the vicinity of the drug user also has to put up with ingesting that drug .

Even a heroin addict sticking a needle in his arm next to me will not do anything to me more than disgust me.

I'll make a deal with Bradley. The next time he is at a restaurant, I'll let him smoke next to me if he lets me sprinkle a little arsenic in his meal. Not enough to kill him, but just enough to let him feel it.
