| Message | Smokers are a minority in our nation, we should protect there rights from the oppressive, non-smoking majority. Smoking is illegal in government owned buildings, thats good enough. People bothered by smoke can go somewhere else in most other cases. |

| Message | What about astmatics, and other allergic people? Aren't they a minority that must be taking care of? What about the fact that just about every single club in Kalistan is filled with smoke so that these people can't stay there. Or even walk in the streets in the summer because of all the smokers sitting outside (and inside) the cafés. These people loose a lot of opportunities just because the people has the "right" to poison themselves and others for a cheap kick. There's also the issue of people getting their health affected by second-hand smoking. I'm not that positive towards alcohol either, but don't think it's that much of a problem as smoking. That article can be left out if wanted, and made to another debate. |

| Message | His Holiness is very glad that the Kalistan Communist Party has seen reason. We have long argued these points, but they were ignored by the heathens who had no regard for the health of the rest of the population. We would like to inquire if previous bills will still be kept that deal with this, namely the bill that just passed through the Imperial Parliament before you arrived. |

| Message | The KCP is uncertain what bill this is, and what the CP/CoK means with that statement. |

| Message | We find it offending that the Conservative Party labels anyone who doesnt agree with them as "Heathens". We ask them politly to stop |

| Message | The Workers do not agree with this bill, and would like to give a polite "up yours" to His Holiness and all other non-heathens |
