| Date | 19:24:09, July 27, 2016 CET | From | Royal Socialist Front (RSF) | To | Debating the Smoking Rights Bill |
| Message | I am aware of the danger, but if the people wish to smoke, it would be wrong to deny them it. |
| Date | 19:36:01, July 27, 2016 CET | From | Party of the Democratic Revolution | To | Debating the Smoking Rights Bill |
| Message | 'On this moral journey we must never think that our choices affect only us' is a perfect quote to sum up our stance. Why should your addiction harm another persons quality of life? We are thinking about society at whole here. |
| Date | 05:17:47, July 28, 2016 CET | From | Libertarian Socialist Confederation | To | Debating the Smoking Rights Bill |
| Message | The Libertarian Socialist Confederation supports this bill. Persons who smoke often have bigger problems in their lives to worry about than the small chance of possible lung disease in the distant future from a smoke that then is their relief. Further, smoking is only less prevalent among cis men, and the middle and upper classes. In other words, restricting smoking means one is restricting the troubled and disadvantaged in society. The libertarian socialists will support the freedom to smoke while simultaneously working against what causes the need to smoke: the kyriarchy. |
| Date | 19:55:55, July 28, 2016 CET | From | Conservative People's Party | To | Debating the Smoking Rights Bill |
| Message | People who smoke do have bigger problems LSC, but why would we allow them to pass this smoking on to people who don't? By agreeing on this bill, children will be victims to passive smoking which will cause health issues in the near future. We need to start clamping down on smoking, not encouraging it! |
