I appreciated the [column] on protecting our citizens in the workplace. The incontrovertible research on secondhand smoking
reflects an unseen killer that aggresses workers’ well-being while being captive on an eight-hour work shift. The articulate
remarks from [Mickey] Maurer left no question it is time to join other states if we are to become a world-class city.
Though I generally oppose Big-Brother intervention, if employers cannot voluntarily protect citizen-workers, then let the
government do its job to ensure our right to life, liberty and the pursuit, in that order. Last I checked, these were embedded
in our founding documents!
