Dear Miss Iris: Almost every day I encounter a street youth or a
homeless adult asking passers-by for a cigarette. After a while this
gets old. I am annoyed by this even more so than the sight of usual
beggars. I don't smoke, and nowadays most people I know do not,
either. Why should anyone expect or assume that the majority of the
general public shares their unhealthy behaviour? - Sinead, Tigard,
Oregon.
Dear Miss Sinead,
I hear your concerns. I do not think they should expect you to
subsidize their addictions. It is entirely up to them and is within
their responsibility if they wish to consume tobacco, but that should
be done at their own expense, with the money they have rightfully
earned.
