#	First Name	Last Name	State	Country	Comments
1	Cheryl Lynne	Bradley		CA	I want equal rights for smokers and the end of the social exclusion of smokers.
2	Maurice	Bertouille		CA	Our country is becoming a dictatorship. Surely there must be answers to satisfy all concerned. I believe that if Governments at all levels are promoting morals, then liquor,gambling,junk food must be eliminated as well.These are all health related as well. Job related illnesses, simply ban the country ha!

5	Frank	Zaniol		CA	Ottawa is spending 480 million, Ontario another 90 million per year on anti-tobacco. Follow the money.
6	Ann	Welch		CA
7	Nick	Melnyk		CA	SVE DSRs are the only reasonable and sensible solutions for all concerned. The primary reason against SVE DSRs is that if they were allowed, the "gold standard" total ban concept could not take place. This frustrates the ban industry to no end since the argument "I should not have to breathe in your smoke" would effectively be rendered meaningless. There is room for justifiable compromise, all that is lacking is an unencumbered will for fairness and equality.

9	andrea	scala		CA	I want the same rights and freedoms as non smokers
10	Jan	Hogg		CA
11	Hugh	Grant		CA	I do not smoke, but the actions of the Government infringe on an individual's rights and freedom. (the site shows US states...not Canadian Provinces)
12	Wilma	MacDonald		CA	I am a non-smoker who objects strenuously to the discrimination being condoned by government in the matter of banning smoking. There is no "Province" above, only "State". Thank you.
13	Thomas	Laprade		CA	The next big issue in Ontario politics will be 'nannygate'--a charge the Liberal government is intent on running residents' lives from the cradle to the grave. Premier Dalton McGuinty's government is the most interventionist of recent times, although many will defend its intrusions as in the public interest(for the greater good) It is telling children what to eat(taking junk foods out of schools) how and when to exercise. (20 minutes exercise each day), tried to freeze raw fish, telling residents what dogs they can own The Liberals are aiming to ban smoking eventually in almost all indoor public and work places. We do not elect people so they can control and manipulate our bahavior. They are in office to serve us, not visa versa. Thomas Laprade Thunder Bay, Ont. Ph. 807 3457258
14	Debbie	Leavitt		CA	I believe that the government is trying to turn us into a communist country, It's cigarettes and pitbulls this year, WHAT WILL IT BE NEXT YEAR??????
