C10- Sunday News; Aprif 19, 1981 decided not to smoke. We were both very angry at first, comerciny we a lost went along ith:t ; did "t ey eee taey have "gone. beyond their rights. in ying’ down ‘a -rule_( of behaviour for someone, else? And second, how do you think we should react. to their rather high-handed de- mand?’ Should we give them _ up? Should we tell them off? _ Should. we ye just g0 along. with them and’ act as friendly as ever? We don't quite know how to react. ‘STEWART: They have no right to “lay down a rule of behaviour for someone else,” but I don’t think they have done that. They have just chosen a way for themselves which - includes enjoying their home without smoke. If you want to call that a “right”, I think it is a right they have coming to them. It’s simply something they want for themselves in __ their own home. and come’through with what was needed and requested of you. For them, .are you: un- willing : to-..postpone your smoking for a while? If you find yow are not willing todo ; that,-they -have. done “you a huge favour. oy They have shown you that you are: not just a couple of people. wha, enjoy.‘smoking, but rather you are a couple of people. :-who- are -hooked.
