| Message | Smoking is not just bad for the individuals health, but also for all those around the smoker. How can we as a responsible government allow people to directly harm those around them? We do not condone murder, but we condone people to help give others cancer? The hypocrisy... |

| Message | Interesting that the Liberal Party votes for this and yet takes the position against abortion because it kills. What about the unborn child, or young child, that is forced to inhale the toxic fumes released from cigarette smoke, but killing them indirectly is fine... |

| Message | It is not fine. Do not attribute things to this Party that are undeserved. This law does not necessarily mean that it is for smoking, or pro-smoking, it just means that private individuals can gather to smoke freely. Those that do not wish to smoke do not have to enter smoking establishments, and if they do that is their choice. Now if a smoker violates another's liberty by smoking around them without permission, that is another matter and this Party is opposed to such actions. |
