In a New York restaurant,

[ BEEN a long time coming, but I see where waterguns and burn them in

in the war against smokers.

They are taking out large
advertisements in the
American magazines and
complaining that the smok-
ers are being discriminated
against.

It could be that we'll soon
see the same thing in
Canada. But then again we
may not. Most of our maga-
zines are branch plants of
the United Church and simi-
lar moralizing bodies, with
the result that they are as
pure as a baby’s powder-
covered bottom.

I speak — in case you've
forgotten — as one who has
never smoked a cigarette in
his life. My old man put me
off with his pipe-smoking.
But his weedish activities
never did me any harm, even
though the anti-smoking
lobby would have it that !
should never have survived
my teens. I mean, my old
man cast off more smoke
than the Royal Hudson, and
lived to a ripe old age.

The advertisements of
which | speak are reprints of
a New York Times article
written by Stanley S. Scott,
the vice-president of Philip
Morris, and Mr. Scott makes
some powerful points.

He says that in spite of all

“the beautiful civil rights

laws, the voting rights act,
and a myriad of an-
ti-discrimination laws, mil-
lions of Americans (for
which also read Canadians)

are still forced to sit in the
backs of planes, trains and
buses. Some, indeed, , are
even denied housing and
employment.

These unfortunates are, of
course, the smokers. (Which
reminds me that smokers
aren’t even allowed to board
our buses. Not if they’re
smoking. Which could be
one reason the buses are fos-
ing money.

The enti-smoking lobby is
every bit as vicious as other
so-called public interest
pressure groups.

Not only have they sent
smokers to the back of the
bus — in more senses than
one — they are also practis-
ing terrorism.

Scott states, for ‘example, .

that “the American Cancer
Society is promoting pro-
grams that encourages peo-
ple to attack smokers with
cannisters of gas, to blast
them with horns, to squirt
them with oversized

the head of a militant anti-
smoker organization zapped
a smoker in the face with an
aerosol spray can.

In a Seattle drug store, a
man puffing on a cigarette
had a gun pulled on him.

In a Los Angeles bus, a
smoker was fatally stabbed
when he objected to being

told by a non-smoker that he -

should put out his cigarette.
There was a shootout in
the New York subway over

vs smoking terrorists

waking — and sleeping —
hours. Right here on the
North Shore, Ayatollah
lovers on council have tried
to legislate rigid non-smok-
ing rules for restaurants.

As Scott says, discrimina-
tion is discrimination, no
matter what it’s based on.
Oh well, there’s always the
Charter of Rights. Isn’t
there? :

‘killed.
' T haven’t yet heard of that

kind of thing happening in

Canada.

.But don't say it can't
happen. We always catch up
on American trends, and
Lord knows we're not short
of loonies.

The real danger in all this
is not only that smokers will
be treated like untouchables,
but. that we will become a
sort of Ayatollah Land in
which social engineers and
otker fanatics will rule our

Status. That’s what those six
Afghans. in Tokyo were
planning to do.

Discovered, they said they
would do themselves in_ if
Ottawa didn’t admit them to
Canada. So our leaders, who
had instructed the airlines to
watch for that sort of scam,
promptly capitulated.

You can now expect thou-
