I applaud the Gauntlet‘s position on anti-smoking bylaws. Non-smokers should not be subjected to second-hand smoke with its carcinogenic, asthma-inducing [qualities], and other adverse effects on health.
I would like to hear more about your opinion on air pollution in Calgary that is the result of heavy automobile use. In my view, it has the same–if not worse–negative consequences as second-hand smoke.
