It is about time non-smokers had some rights. All I hear about from smokers is their rights.

I have smelled their smoke since I started playing bingo in 1979. Now it is my turn to have my rights. I do not see where the bingo halls are hurting that much; some are even packed. I hear a lot of smokers complain every week; but, the next week they are back. Those that left will be back if they are true bingo players. They get 10-minute smoke breaks plus intermission; so, why are they still crying?

I did not get those breaks as a non-smoker to breathe fresh air. All you smokers: sit down, relax and think of all the life you’re saving.

And me and all the other non-smokers thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We gave you many years of smoking, now it is time to give us our rights.
