EASY FIXES

Victoria -- I am happy to read that my hard-earned tax dollars may be 
going to support heroin addicts with government-supervised injection 
sites (Studies Laud Safe-Injection Sites -- Aug. 21). One hopes they 
also will have government-supervised housing and shopping trips to 
the mall, all on the taxpayers' tab, of course.

Can it be long before we see that larger and equally addicted and 
struggling subset, smokers, being provided -- at government expense, 
of course -- safe smoking rooms and trips to corner stores to buy 
cigarettes?
