Quotes from this article:
Today in Maryland, only certain workers are guaranteed a smoke-free [environment]. The workers most likely to suffer the greatest burden of secondhand smoke are poor -- people [who are] less able to stand up for themselves and have less-intensive job skills. We in the faith-based community are saying: We treasure all workers. Clean air to us is very important.
Bishop Larry Lee Thomas, president of the United Black Clergy of Anne Arundel County, on the need for a statewide smoking ban.
