What right does a smoker have to harm those around them, unless you are going to include an ammendment allowing all those effected by secondary smoke to claim compensation from the smokers?

MessageWhile the evidence for second hand smoke is limited I will assuage you for the time being; how would such an ammendment be added?

MessageOur personal preference would be: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=191192

OOC: The easiest way of making ammendments to bills is to make the bill descriptor relatively detailed. Whilst the articles themselves are limited to certain choices using the bill description allows for more interesting bills, ammendments and RP.

    Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators.
