By Russell Baker New York Times <1 have nothing against péople who’ don't smoke. 1 stopped smoking myself for five years once and it didn't do me any noticeable harm. If people want to sit, around not’ smoking it doesn't offend me in the least. 1 certainly wouldn't bully them ard try to make them feel alisolutely terrible about not taking up the habit, 3 If 1 were a cab driver, I wouldn't dream of pasting a signin my taxi that said: “Smoke!” And even if I did and+ somebody got in my cab and didn’t light up, I would never turn around and say: “There is no. non-smoking in this cab.” Lf [ invited somebody to dianer who didn’t smoke, it would never occur to me to embarrass and humiliate her,, or even him, by saying: “If you're not going to smoke, will jou please go outside where it doesn't irritate the other guests?” As a smoker, I feel no sense of moral whatever. I don't even feel self-righteous about smoking. Not even when I am in a crowded room with 15 or 20 non-smokers. After all, I might want to give up smoking again one of these days, and if I do, I don’t want smokers looking down their noses at me. Being of this turn of mind, I am baffled by the growing intolerance among so many people who don’t smoke.
