Zealots target smokers

Concerning the war on tobacco and trying to “force” Maine into being tobacco free: I believe many of our legislators have been misled by the paid professional anti-smoker zealots, and it is not fair to one in four of their constituents.

The representatives were elected to represent all the people, not a select group of single-issue activists with an agenda who are willing to sacrifice not only freedom of choice in America but are enthusiastic about the outrageous amounts of money they can extort from the smokers. With the next election fast approaching, I am going to find out where each stands on this issue before I cast my vote.

Enough is enough.
