Whenever one watches TV, listens to the radio or reads papers, there is always depressing news. At least this item of news is pleasing & a step in the right direction. However, there is no room for complacency to remove this unnecessary curse imposed on our society by the mighty greedy smoking industry. Together we can stop this menace for good and improve the health of our nation by saving lives & stopping the waste of hard earned public money.
