Dear Ann Landers: Like millions of other decent, socially acceptable people, I smoke. Since I am a heavy smoker, I am vastly uncomfortable if I must go for over an hour without a cigaret. Your notion that people who do not want smoking in their homes should not put out ash trays is absurd.

My wife does not smoke, but she has a kidney problem. We would no more go to a home where smoking is not allowed than we would accept an invitation from a hostess who locks the bathroom so guests can't use it. In my opinion, the principle is the same. Please Dear S.M.R.: Your analogy is picturesque, but the principle is not the same. A guest who uses the lavatory in no way interferes with the comfort or the health of others.

I've never heard of a hostess who locked her bathroom so guests couldn't use it. Have you? It seems to me that if such a hostess exists, she would stand to lose a lot more than if she set out no ash trays. The next letter might interest, you. Dear Ann Landers: On a flight from Cincinnati to San Francisco, I was seated next to a middle aged woman. When the "No Smoking" sign was turned off, I asked my seat-mate if she would mind if I smoked.

Her reply was, "I would prefer that you didn't." Her answer irritated me since a a heavy smoker and felt she was interfering with my rights. I pointed out that the airlines expect people to smoke which is why they have signs regulating smoking during takeoff and landing. She gave me a dirty look and snapped, "Well, you asked me and I told you!" I replied, "If my smoking bothers you, I suggest that you find another seat." She did. I was pleased with the forthright manner in which I dealt with this inconsiderate female. Friends to whom 1 related the incident said I was wrong.

What do you No. 47 Dear American: I think you behaved miserably. Your right to smoke ends where the other fellow's nose begins. When the woman let you know smoke bothers her, you should have found a seat next to another nicotine addict. The two of you could then hack and cough together all the way to San Francisco without offending anyone.

Dear Ann Landers: You must be made of stone. You tell every wronged husband or wife or daughter or son, sweetheart, friend or neighbor to "forgive and forget." Did it ever occur to you that some people just can't? They are too deeply hurt-too badly damaged. Please pull your head out of the sand, or the clouds or wherever it is, and use it to think with. It's preposterous to expect mere mortals to behave like The Scene Dear Scene: For those who don't like my advice to forgive and forget, here's an alternative. Don't forgive and don't forget.
