Victims of anti-smoking policies.
Jane O'Grady
In October 2011, it was reported that Ms O'Grady, a 97 year old, was threatened with eviction from her independent living facility. Her smoking wasn't a problem when she moved in in 2005[1], but in 2008, The Lakes at Pointe West implemented a no-smoking policy.
In a letter to the media in Feb 2012, The Lakes stated they wanted her to either stop smoking, or move to accomodation where she can be given mobility assistance to smoke outside because of the other 197 residents. Ms O'Grady wants neither.[2][3]
Jane died 20th Feb 2012[4]
