I AM writing in reply to Martin Ball of FOREST (Your Letters, March 5) who suggested that people ignore No Smoking Day.
I agree with him that adults should be allowed to make choices. I am an adult, and my choice is not to smoke, even passively. When I am in a smokey atmosphere my eyes run, my throat hurts and my breathing gets more shallow. I usually have to leave.
So what about my rights? What about the rights of children and people with chest conditions?
