A LETTER WRITER in the British magazine, Spectator,says he thinks nonsmokers' intolerance is aimed at the smokers,, not the smoke.He writes: "The truth is that we all inflict ourselves on others. As well as being contestants for the 2imited'space and limited weaZth of the planet, most of us are either garru3ous;bores, dbg-owners, germ-carriers,, noi'se-makers, or eye-sores. Just plain tolerance towards life's minor irritations is pre- ferable t'o a belligerency towards millions of people which,can be assesse&on3y as neurot'ic." , CLEARWATER (FLA.)
