| Message | So many families have been through alot of pain because their loved ones became addicted to nicotine and became ill from it. Why should we allow them to smoke and cause more deaths? |

| Message | The role of parliment should be to allow people to live peacefully and freely, this means that if they wish to inhale things which are harmful to them; they should be allowed to. But, only while this action affects only them. And as such banning smoking would not be acceptable to the Aloria Peace Party. We as a government should seak to educate the public to the dangers of smoking and encourage them to give up voluntarily, not dictate how they should live. |

| Message | I feel I must support the Republic on this one, as we have correctly stated "You should be allowed to do anything as long as it does not lower the quality of lives for other people" working on this logic smoking must be banned as passive smoking it a major concern for the physical health of our workers! |
