Programme Notes

Smoking is an awful addiction that is very difficult to kick. I have many loved ones who have battled the “butt”; so I have a lot of compassion for those who try to kick the habit. It’s those smokers who rant and rave about the rigidity of anti-smoking by-laws in public places that really pisses me off! Talk to me about the government stepping on your toes after you hear the story of Heather Crowe, a waitress who died in May 2006 after her battle with lung cancer. Ms. Crow had been subjected to over 40 years of 2nd hand smoke.
