| Message | With our current policies, "places of employment" are restricted from allowing employees to smoke in them. However, this does not account well enough for the local popultion. By leaving it to the regional governments, the feelings of the residents will be properly accounted for. Surely not all of our regions and citizens agree with our current law, and this will bring the government much closer to them. |
