To the Editor: I am writing in response to the letters that appeared in The Dartmouth last week about the issues about tobacco that were raised by Neil Resnick's and Juan Carlos Serna's editorial ["Butt Out of Dartmouth's Affairs," May 18]. I have been the Chief of Oncology at White River Junction VA Hospital since 1978 and have seen too many good people suffering and dying from tobacco-related illnesses.
