| Message | repression? if it's not allowed, people won't do it. Do you see people smoking in hospitals/train stations/ etc. in Belgium nowadays? And if they do, what would it cost in repression costs. A lot less then the benefits... |

| Message | "if it's not allowed, people won't do it." Now, Phil, you don't seriously believe that, do you? Why else are you proposing to reintroduce supervision over ecozones? Because people need enforcement to refrain from what is not allowed. As for the matter at hand, I would ban smoking in government buildings (including schools and hospitals), but not in privately owned, publicly accessible buildings, and definitely not in publicly accessible open spaces (streets, parks, etc.). |

| Message | The benefits of this to public health are self-evident. However, I am not sure if we should be legislating in this sphere. It would be preferable if we could fine-tune those "public locations" |
