Carol Aider Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor, I wonder if there are many other persons like myseif who feel that the Federal Governments reduction of taxes on cigarettes is a slap i the face to ail those ordinary Canadians who volunteer their time and, energy ta go from door to door soliciting donations to the Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. For the sake of helping the political fortunes of the Quebec Liberals at the next election, the Federal Govemment is prepared to abandon the most successful strategy ta reduce cigarette consumption especially among the young. I would urge ail those who feel as outraged as myseif to phone the office of their MP and make their views known in no uncertain manner.
