Smokers' rights? What rights? Is there any legal framework for such rights? Enshrined in law at the national, EU or international level? Of course not. They don't exist - and for good reason.
Senator(s), it is not in the public interest to make reference to fictitious "rights" - in fact they simply to do exist. And should not. Referring to such rights as if they do exist, is probably not in the best interests of improving public health.
I hope the people of Ireland and those who represent us, will support a Healthy Nation, a nation which ensures that steps are taken to protect the health of children - is paramount.
Moreover, with the support of all, the Stamp out Smoking campaign [http://www.sos2030.com/] will gain the momentum and support needed to ensure the right to live in a healthy environment moves from rhetoric to reality. We all can choose to take on the responsibility to make that happen. And I hope you and all your colleagues will choose to do so.
