| Message | I think this actually has a beneficial effect on the country... less people smoking, less people ill, and less people dying. That cuts costs for the health service. Plus, we don't believe in applying a cool reputation to harmful substances. These pare only restrictions, not an outright ban, remember. Ann-Katrin Staebler Foreign Affairs Minister LP Deputy Leader OOC: do we even have an option for an outright ban? |

| Message | OOC: Yes, it can be banned, click on the law for all the options. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
