| Message | Smoking is devastating not only for the smoker's health but also for the ones near him. Social Democrats believe that at least passive smokers should be protected by the National Government and therefore we propose a partial smoking ban in public places. |

| Message | So whats next with your protection? Protection of second hand keg party goers? The government has no responsibility to protect anyone who knowingly walks into an establishment and sits down next to a smoker. That is THEIR fault, it's THEIR responsibility to change tables, or simply leave. Banning indoor smoking takes things much to far. We vote NO. |

| Message | Look - they should have the right to go into such establishments and not be forced to sit far away from smokers, or not be able to go to nay place of that type at all. |

| Message | I'm in favour. Let's protect non-smokers. |
| Date | 00:14:21, July 07, 2006 CET | From | Patriotic Front | To | Debating the Smoking Act 2249 |
| Message | We stand against this bill. Few things are as satisfying in life as smoking a cigarette. We should protect that pleasure for each and every Alorian. We will not allow the Social Democrats to embark on a crusade against smoking, to create an atmosphere of anti-fumatory fascism. |
