| Message | Smoking policies are a good issue for local government to decide. However, smoking outside does not negatively affect anyone but the smoker as long as it is far enough away from air intakes to buildings. Letting local governments decide makes sense, but banning of outdoor smoking does not. This is however a vast improvement over the current law, so it has my vote. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
