| Message | This is a very harsh law which we cannot support. We think that prohibition always causes criminality and think strict regulation, high taxation and education about the risks and consequences of drug use and smoking. We think that in a long-term view this will help to solve the problem in a more satisfying way. We know the prohibition especially of tobacco and smoking would help to improve the health of the population significantly - but the desire to do something prohibited and the criminal energy which will be accelerated by this will become a problem for the national security, especially when you, in one single step, come from no regulation to 100% prohibition. Naturally, no parties share the same view on everything, still we regret that we have to vote "No". But we think the law will pass with the votes of the KMNF. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
