| Message | Hah. The manifesto writer wishes that I break this up? What, may I ask, is your problem with proposal 1? |

| Message | If article 2 is passed I see no need for article 1. Plus, my manifesto was not about being passed etc, it was mainly for our visibility. |

| Message | The need for article 1 is so that people can breathe clean air in public spaces. Do you really want your colleague "lighting up" right next to you at work all day? You do know the risks of secondhand smoke, don't you? |

| Message | "Smoking is legal everywhere, at the discretion of the property owner" People ought to be responsible enough to decide for themselves, if they think you should be allowed to smoke then why not, but the majority will ban it anyway. I just feel it's unnecessary regulation. |
