| Date | 11:42:31, November 06, 2005 CET | From | Alliance 44 | To | Debating the On Smoking |
| Message | Nonsense. You are suggesting that 1) if allowed people will smoke in front of their children 2) every smoker has a kid or more 3) the 'working classes' smoke more than anyone else 4) any kid (or pet, lol) being present when a smoker smoked his/her cigarette wiil get lung cancer. The whole argument is very hypocritical, biased and false. Let the government not poke their noses into the private lives of the individual. |
