| Message | Mr. Speaker, Dear colleagues, Tobacco and alcohol are part of our culture and our traditions. Banning those substances would be terrible for those who believe in democracy. The National Movement is strongly opposed to this bill. Adults can be responsible and drink or smoke if they want to. Edward of Hurrington. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The NCP believes that access to alcohol and tobacco should be restricted to those who are responsible enough to use them, but we do not think they should be banned. Banning these substances would be a unwise move. Joshua Evans, Speaker for the NCP in the Imperial Diet. |
