Smoking is already allowed in public areas so all this is doing is sending harmful smoke into under developed lungs. Do you want a population that hasnt enough breath to run down the road? |

From | Deadly Buzz Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | Also the bill that passed was not a question of Communism, it is a matter of health. And as current Minister for health we are seeing a steady increase in the number of cancer and emphysema sufferers. This will only cost us more money as we fight to try save lives.
For the health and well being of our population, vote No. |

From | Social-Liberty Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | The SLP feels that we need to note we do not endorse smoking by anyone, especially minors, but we do endorse their right to choose. I myself am organizing an antismoking campaign aimed at minors that will go into effect if/when this passes.

From | Progressive Labor Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | A person's right not to be harmed supersedes a person's right to smoke! Smoking is morally, ethically, financially and economically detrimental. If smoking were invented today, it would be banned. Why then support it? |

From | Restoration Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | oh great, another commie to add to the list. Allies, if you don't believe me now that we need a strong, unelected executive with some institutional legitimacy to check these sort, i don't know what will persuade you! |

From | Zuman Independence Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | Children does not understand the risk of smoking, therefore they will not be allowed to smoke. |

From | Deadly Buzz Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | Just because I dont want children to have cancer does not mean I am a communist. They are children, not adults. Do you understand? |

From | Restoration Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | As ever, government to the rescue. How can we stop children from smoking? Make it against the law, that'll work...
Why not build credibility with the people so they actually listen to health warnings...
i guess to do that you'd need an unelected, legitimate, trustworthy authority.... |

Its a hell of a lot more effective than making it easier for them to get ciggarettes. Ban them for children and try encourage them to listen to health warnings. |

From | Deadly Buzz Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | Right so your answert is not even to bother trying. Lets give up on everything then. Everyone is sick of ads by charities on TV lets outlaw them ban everyone who always has ads on tv. |

From | Restoration Party | To | Debating the Right to Smoke | | Message | No the differnece is you propose the governement restricts something that is intrinsicly not its business. Banning adverts would be in the same spirit.
