To the Editor:

I was appalled at the column Max’s View in the October 4 edition of The World. He called all who are opposed to breathing someone else’s cigarette smoke “propagandists”, based upon what seems to be his own personal beliefs. He did not reference or quote any studies to prove his position that “second hand smoke isn’t deadly” and that no non -smoker who worked in smoke-filled houses in the 70s and 80s developed cancer or emphysema. I look forward to no longer seeing his column.
