NOT JUST SMOKERS: I presume Laura-Jane Filotrani (Shooting from the Lip, April 26) is being deliberately provocative and I know I shouldn't but I shall rise to the bait. Why stop at denying smokers treatment? There are many other people who are responsible for their own health problems. Drinkers have liver problems and are involved in accidents and violence while under the influence of alcohol. Overeaters suffer obesity and diseases associated with it. Sexually-promiscuous people suffer sexually-transmitted diseases, abortions and mental problems. People who take part in dangerous sports and DIY addicts are also at risk.

THANKS FOR HELP: I would like to thank two ladies who stopped to help me at about 1.05pm on April 15. I tripped over the uneven pavement on the corner of Torrindon Road and Fordel Road. One woman called an ambulance, sat me down in her car and waited until I was safely tucked in the ambulance before leaving.

It is good to see there are still Good Samaritans around.
