Readers debate a smoking helmet concept to isolate and absorb smoke. A transparent plexiglass headpiece would seal around the shoulders with red and green lights to signal when smoking is allowed and when it is safe to remove. Supporters claim it would prevent secondhand smoke, boost workplace productivity, and foster harmony between smokers and nonsmokers.
The writer argues against being solicited for charity at commercial sites and against tipping Starbucks workers to raise wages. They cite Fortune Magazine figures showing Starbucks salaried staff near $44,000 and hourly around $35,000, insisting tipping is personal and not compulsory.
