Edwin Gray has lived in
the same house for 50 years.
His new neighbors, Brendan
and Nessa Coppinger, both
lawyers, are suing him for
a half million dollars...
over the fact they say he
annoys them with his second
hand smoke. As much as RTS
is a staunch anti-smoking
advocacy that stands up for
non-smokers' rights, forcing
and threatening someone
with a lawsuit to quit a habit
that is actually still legal in
this country in one's own
house seems to be the gesture
of a couple of self-important
attorneys who are going to
show people that when they
demand, one must bow down
and listen. RTS hopes the attys
get what they deserve; and that
Mr. Gray can find some place
to smoke without his idiotic
neighbors dragging him into
court over a right that was in
place long before either of
them were born...
