Here we go again, another smoker complaining. But I am not complaining as a smoker, I am complaining as a citizen of the United States of America, who has had another right taken away from me.

I’m talking about nonsmoking bingo. What are these politicians thinking about when they come up with these stupid ideas. The bingo halls are regulated by the state. The cigarettes are taxed by the state, and yet they want you to stop smoking.

Nonsmokers have a right to go to bingo that has smoke free, but where is our right to go to bingo hall that allows smoking. There should be both, not just one.

If this isn’t discrimination, then what do you call it? Whatever happened to freedom of choice? I think people should really know the politician’s issues before they are elected. I am not voting for a nonsmoker in the next election, and I urge you not to also.

I will however, vote “yes” for the casino in Sanford, because it is not run by the state. I hope that you all will vote “yes” also. You make us feel like criminals for smoking, but yet you make money off of us.
