Smoke

I would like to thank Patricia of San Francisco for her excellent letter to the editor this morning"

"You can't separate marijuana smoke from cigarette and cigar smoke.

For health reasons, we have smoke-free offices, restaurants and apartment buildings, but healthy people still have to walk through a gauntlet of smokers, including pot smokers, wherever they go, especially in the business district.

Cigarette butt trash litters our sidewalks, bus stops and beaches. Second-hand smoke kills many people every year. It's pretty scary that potheads can actually vote for their right to expose healthy people to the sickening stench of marijuana smoke wherever they go. Marijuana smoke is just as deadly as cigarette and cigar smoke, and healthy people have the right to smoke-free air. It's even more frightening that politicians are pushing taxing a toxic substance as a source of revenue."
