| Date | 06:08:45, September 26, 2005 CET | From |  Coalition for National Strength | To | Debating the Alcohol/Smoking Regulations |
| Message | Alcohol and Tobacco, although unhygenic and unhealthy, are a freedom that adult citizens should be able to possess. However, the bill as it currently stands is unsatisfactory. If Alcoholic beveages are to be purchased and consumed anywhere, it will be relatively easy for children to get them. Smoking in public is unhygenic and sets a poor moral example to our children. The Coalition for National Strength supports stronger government control on such habits. |
