WHO CAN DICTATE QUITTING TOBACCO?

I READ about the Salem policemen and firefighters who were told to quit smoking or lose their jobs. I smoked about 10 years ago. I quit because I wanted to live a little longer.

I can honestly say it's not easy. How can anyone tell you how to live your private life? It is taking away your rights and freedom. We may as well be communists. I think we should put our foot down. Don't let them do it. NANCY KIRBY ROANOKE
