European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 16, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Judges ban on smoking hits Home Charles is goo Tiivi s n he a cd ice in Many communities cigarette smokers Are being made to feel like an oppressed minority. There Are More and More limitations being imposed on where and when you can smoke. Cigarette smokers have become pariahs. In restaurants and other Public places the rights of non smokers have prevailed Over the rights of smokers if indeed there Are any rights of smokers anymore. Just when the anti cigarette Legal forces had gone about As far As smokers thought they could go along comes a family court judge in Sacramento calif., with a court order forbidding a woman to smoke cigarettes in her own Home Anna Maria de Beni Souza is not exactly a Chain smoker. She goes through a pack of cigarettes every couple of Days. But from now on if she lights up in her Home in front of her son she can be charged with contempt of court.

If Anna Maria wanted sole custody of her son she should be willing to make the sacrifice and swear off cigarettes. She thought this idea was crazy but the court did not. Unless a higher court overturns the current decision Anna Maria wont legally be Able to smoke a cigarette in front of her son until he turns 18. What Burns Anna Maria is that according to her while they were married her husband never objected to other people smoking. He never complained or tried to have smokers arrested in restaurants. She thinks it was Only to punish her that he suddenly became so interested in the effects of secondary cigarette smoke. But Kallweitt a motives whatever they Are Are beside the Point. The court normally would have no authority to prohibit smoking in one s own Home. But the first duty of the court is the welfare of the child and the judge became convinced that it is in the Best interests of the boy for his Mother to swear off the smokes if he s going to be living there.
