The college could be asked to subsidize the bus route as Canada Coach Lines will not run it at a loss, Stockford said. President Ken Hunter said in earlier interviews that the college uses its funding for education, not busing.

Schmidt said the college “has not given up hope that a bus route will be established.”

And finally, if non-smokers wanted to char their lungs, they could have a welder blast their lungs with superheated carbon monoxide, thereby speeding up the process. Webster’s 20th Century dictionary states that nicotine was first introduced to France by Jacques Nicot, a French ambassador to Lisbon, in 1560. It goes on to state that nicotine is a poisonous alkaloid, CIO H14 N2, found in tobacco leaves. Conclusion: Non-smokers have every smoke in the workplace and in heavily used public right to object to
