| Message | We are aware this is an anti-liberal act, but with this measures we could: - save life from tumors - guarantee more healthy life for our citizens - save money in treating ill patients |

| Message | Sorry but we cannot support these proposals. Despite the reasons you have given us, we feel that current laws on the matter at hand are adequate with dealing with health issues. Also, it is a very big industry and banning it would mean a huge loss of jobs and money. Furthermore, tobacco trade will become like the drug trade and millions would have to be spent on enforcing the ban, so the issue of saving money is out. |
