Date	01:36:00, June 14, 2005 CET
From	Revolutionary Worker's Party
To	Debating the Smoking restrictions
Message	The SUP would agree with the banning of smoking in locations such as restaurants and bars etc but in every public place it is a little extreme and surely goes against people's liberties.

Date	02:14:22, June 15, 2005 CET
From	Dorvik-Nazz Party
To	Debating the Smoking restrictions
Message	While we do agree that cigarettes should only be purchased by adults, smoking is the choice of the individual - where and when he or she chooses to do so. We would agree to designated smoking/non-smoking areas in public areas, such as restaurants, bars, etc. Yet, a wide-spread ban is unacceptable.
