It is onerous, misguided legislation like the city’s proposed smoking ban that got Donald Trump elected president. People are getting sick of thoughtless shenanigans like this. I smoke only to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The clients at the Fellowship Club smoke to alleviate anxiety.

I have been suffering badly from car exhaust fumes for the last nine days; my lungs ache, my eyes burn, my head hurts, and my stomach is sick. The city does nothing to curtail automobile use. I don’t own a car. I don’t have a driver’s license. What is wrong with you people?

I’ve been a lifelong Democrat and progressive, but I will cast my vote to get you people out of office if you pass this nonsensical law.
