Intro: Governor Fitial’s comments in the Saipan Tribune’s March 10 paper that he will nix the smoking ban plan is a huge blow to all non-smokers and children of the CNMI. Shame on you Governor! It’s okay to be opinionated, but not at the expense of people’s health. It’s also not as forgiving to frequently shoot from the hip. Sometimes you need to keep the target in the scope sights longer before pulling the trigger.
It’s pathetic and an outrage to think that I need to sacrifice my lungs and that of my children and other children and non-smokers in the CNMI so that our prized Asian tourists are not inconvenienced. . . .
Governor Fitial, please reconsider your position and do the right thing by NOT nixing the smoking ban plan. It just might help your re-election bid.
