This legislation stipulates a full ban on public smoking that occurs in the PUBLIC AIR that belongs to the PEOPLE collectively.

| Message | We find no reason why smoking out to be prohibited in open spaces; if anything, this will only further damage the health of children in smoking households, increasing their passive intake of smoke. |

| Message | We shall support as a stopgap to the legislation that is really needed. |
| Date | 04:14:02, October 10, 2007 CET | From | Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei | To | Debating the You May Have A RIGHT to Smoke, but I Have A RIGHT Not to Inhale It Act |
| Message | What do you mean it will increase second hand smoke in households when the current law already allows smoking EVERYWHERE??? Rather, this bill says that the gov't prohibits smoking on PUBLIC property but leaves it alone on private property. |
