What YouCan Do Vote Believe it or not, your vote is your most powerful instrument of change. Far too many smokers don't bother to vote because they believe that sincethey belong to a minority, it would be a waste of time and effort. Nothing could be further from the truth. They organized,they lobbied and they voted.
Block votes are powerful.
If smokers organized into a voting block,politicians would be falling all over themselves to win those votes. But if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the way youare treated. Most papers reserve a section for Letters to the Editor. They publish allkinds of opinions, including those that contradict their own. Letters docompete for space, however, and there are a number of ways to improve yourchances of being published.
