| Date | 15:10:27, November 13, 2018 CET | From | Gaduridos Progressive Movement | To | Debating the Repealing Smoking and Tobacco Regulation |
| Message | We will not change out vote due to the article. If the Gran Partido Nacional is willing to write up another bill that only includes the repeal we will support it. |
| Date | 15:35:08, November 13, 2018 CET | From | Gran Partido Nacional | To | Debating the Repealing Smoking and Tobacco Regulation |
| Message | We can do so but it would be a waste of our legislative time. Why not just support this bill and then create a bill of your own that reverses it? Andre Saintilus, Leader of the Grand National Party |
| Date | 18:58:47, November 13, 2018 CET | From | Gaduridos Progressive Movement | To | Debating the Repealing Smoking and Tobacco Regulation |
| Message | It is against our interest to vote for something that we will just turn around and reverse. Not to mention there is always the chance that it might fail to pass. |

| Message | Friends in the GPM: It is obvious that it failed to pass because the GPM voted against. |
