Rejected petition Reinstate the right to smoke

More details

Smoking should be allowed in every area, as it was prior the smoking ban. Smokers should no longer be treated as lepers.

Smoking has been a right of the people for hundreds of years. The belief that the government has the right to dictate our rights is the tail wagging the dog. Politicians are public servants and their job is the put forward the wishes of the people.
