sued MacFarlane and the condo association “One has the right to do what they want in their own home but I think that extends as far as long as you are not offending your neighbors” she said The couple is basing their lawsuit on a 19 amendment to Utah's nuisance laws that included “tobacco smoke that drifts into any residential unit a person rents leases or owns" more than once over a two-wee- k period The Parrishes say for them it's an issue of health not religious leanings “We’re very people We’re very young and we want to preserve our health” Amanda Parrish said MacFarlane — who said he has smoked for 30 years before the Parrishes were even bom — considers the suit harassment “You've got the right to do what you want to do health-conscio- “We experienced it on a daily basis My eyes would water and I would cough I was seriously thinking of seeking some help from my doctor” The couple said they tried to work out the problem with their neighbor Douglas MacFarlane sought help from the condominium association within your unit as long as it’s legal" he said MacFarlane said he agreed to only smoke on his balcony but the couple wasn’t satisfied Since the suit was filed MacFarlane has been served an he eviction notice by the rents from “It’s totally screwed up my life” he said “1 don't have the money to fight this” The state attorney general's office and the Parrishes’ attorney both say their suit could be the first of its kind But Brigham Young University law professor David Thomas who specializes in nuisance suits said precedent favors smokers unit-own- er Dan Cracraft of the advocacy group Freedom of Choice which plans to support MacFarlane said Utah smokers are tired of being pushed around “If this guy can be sued for smoking other people can be sued for or having

Republican Party was out to get him the paper said If the party allowed a GOP challenger Cook said then he would just have to run as an independent candidate Even if he did not win Cook threatened the GOP congressman would try to make sure no Republican ever holds the seat again The Tribune said KI®I Participants in both camps were stunned at Cook's rashness and irritability during the hour-lon- g meeting the paper said Cook was banned temporarily from state party headquarters after a tirade shortly before last November's election “It appears that that's the pattern He has been viewed somewhat suspect and this incident does not help” said Spencer Stokes a Republican lobbyist and campaign strategist who was the state party’s executive director until January “There is some widespread disgust within the party” Shurtleff said Cook's behavior had nudged him closer toward getting into the nice “Part of my reason in meeting with him was to get my own feel for the man I still haven't made a decision on whether I'm going to run hut that meeting helped a little" he said Other Republicans being mentioned as possible challengers lo Cook include Todd Nielson Dave Buhler and Steve Price Kelly
