Editor, Regarding the current debate about regulating where smokers can smoke - I am a big fan of workplace smoking bans, but I support the right of smokers to smoke outdoors. However, smokers would do themselves a big favor by ceasing to carelessly throw their cigarette butts on the ground. As ...
Editor, Sami Shakir has expressed his right to freedom of speech.
