| Message | Just because a place serves alcohol doesn't mean people should be allowed to smoke there. Have you ever walked behind someone smoking on a public street? It is disgusting, and bad for your health. What people do in their own homes is their own business, and we have no reason to regulate that. What they do in public areas is everyone else's. |

| Message | The only acceptable option is "smoking is only allowed in private homes and clubs". We prefer it to remain in the realm of local governments however. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
