| Message | "Mr Speaker, Do either the Liberal Democrats or the Centrist Choice Coalition value basic health? The reason smoking is illegal in public spaces is for the sake of other people who can be subject to potentially fatal sidestream smoke. Vaccination is essential to public health and its opposers reject basic scientific principle. Just in case you missed your secondary education, vaccines contain a minute dose of the disease being vaccinated against, with almost no deaths ever being caused by it. This is to create antibodies that can be used immediately when a more serious version of the vaccinated disease may emerge at a later time. By not vaccinating your child, you put all other children, even those who have been vaccinated, at risk. Tobacco is an extremely addictive drug that is effectively combatted by tobacco tax, making it much more expensive to buy and, therefore, reducing its usage and deaths caused by it as a result of this. If anything, this is an abuse of our Hutorian's right to basic health. Overturn this decision now or face the consequences of a hike in unnecessary fatalities due to sidestream smoke, preventable disease and cancers, such as lung and throat, that are caused by tobacco use and abuse" - Satomi Klausen (HSP-FA) HSP Health and Social Services Speaker |
