There is a growing call within Romanar to abolish smoking in public areas.
The Debate
1. "I'm in full support of this motion," says man on the street Peggy Thiesen. "I'm sick of being stuck behind smokers, sucking in their pollution! They can light up in the privacy of their own homes, if they want."
[Accept]
2. "What's so special about their homes?" says anti-smoking campaigner Jazz Clinton. "The government has a responsibility to stop people from hurting themselves -- it's the same reason we should make them wear seat belts in cars. Sooner or later, they end up in one of Romanar's hospitals, sucking on taxpayer-funded healthcare. Not that that's why we should ban smoking. We should ban it because we care."
[Accept]
3. "Get your hands off my fag!" wheezes long-time smoker Violet Hamilton. "I've been smoking for fifty years and it's never done me any harm. Helps me concentrate, it does! The government should back off on trying to tell me what I can put into my own body. Telling a smoker he can't light up in a restaurant is discrimination, pure and simple. If you want to put a stop to unfairness, stop that."
[Accept]

Peggy Thielson is a MAN on the street? His (?) father must be related to the dad of the "Boy named Sue"! LoL!
