Ban On Smoking

SIR— I find Paul Waibale’s article on the smoking ban in the March 22 <b>New Vision</i> infuriating, to say the least.

This is due to his failure to grasp the seriousness of the problem at hand.
Ironically, in the same edition in which his article ran, the WHO report ranked smoking related diseases as the fastest growing and that in a few years it will have overtaken today’s leading killers such as malaria and AIDS combined.
If that cannot catch his attention, then I wish to write him off as a good-for-nothing columnist.
He starts his article by promising impartial analysis of the subject before shortly being swallowed by his lopsidedness, glossing over smoking risks while glorifying legal trivialities and speculated economic losses.
One sign of unparalleled maturity is the ability to forego personal interests and habits and advise others on the contrary for a national common good.
