| Message | This bill demonstrates no regard to the overall well-being of the general population. If you want the support of SLP, please include a clause that includes publicly funded health, because by allowing companies to not list ALL ingredients in products, you are putting people in harm's way; by making smoking permissable everywhere, you're spreading second hand smoke. The previous regulations regarding them had a purpose. Maybe there should be a touch of regulation to make sure the government still profits from the same of tobacco and alcohol. |

| Message | http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=44931. Thanks for checking out other bills being put forward in this nation. The government is not a business, the government works for the people, the people don't work for the government, therefore we find your desire to make a profit out of ordinary Likatonians somewhat disturbing. |

| Message | RLP opposes this attempt to prey on the inexperience of our children. Adults can make these decisions for themselves, but our children need and deserve the protection of the government from predetory sales attempts. As to article 2, only with full disclosure can people make rational choices. |

| Message | A child is a human, they can make their own choices, or would the RLP rather we descended to the pack mentality of the wolf? |

| Message | Where are the parents who should be educating thier children not to smoke. We can legislate until the cows come home, but at the end of the day it is far less effective than a parent saying "NO JOHNNY" *slaps hand* "You are NOT having a wintermans" Another peice of unecessary legislation that with good intentions laying at the wrong door of responsibility. We support, in total. |

| Message | There are alements that appeal to the AAS... but, overall, we believe there are areas that NEED some regulation. We must oppose 'in toto'. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
