I'm signing because I cannot understand why we should have this ban. This will only result to looting and more violence. Please lift the banVanessa van Pletzen (Kempton Park , 2020-04-10)

I support the petition . Banning smoking is taking government perceived rights too far. Control of citizens rights is limited and some necessary controls are acceptable. This ban on smoking is not.Frank Bennetts (Glen Marais, 2020-04-10)

I believe that banning smoking will result in more crime. You cannot just take a drug away from an adict. They have to want to give up. I do not smoke but as an exsmoker living with a smoker I understand. PleaseCaryl Brown (Durban, 2020-04-10)

I'm a smoker. I also know our economy is losing approximately R35 million a day in taxes, which we need as a country during this crisis. Grocery stores are open too, which makes it a no-brainer. Government's decision is not only helping to kill the economy, but help lose jobs. Illegal Trading is inevitable, which is an industry we are trying to fight against.Bradley van Beuge (Cape Town , 2020-04-10)

I am a smoker myself & believe that there is no need to ban tobacco. How can tobacco now be banned but weed is legal? Makes no senseSylvia Viljoen (Johannesburg , 2020-04-10)

I am a smoker and a law abiding citizen, but banning cigarettes is against my constitutional rights because there are many people depending on this very business in order to make a living. We can accept the lockdown but we need to be respected and allowed to buy our cigarettes like before as we are not children. Cravings become bad and will result in bad behavior like domestic violence especially in very bad households where one depends on a cigarette to calm the nerves and it will make life alot easier and will also stop people from buying from unlicensed vendors and paying increased prices because of being desperate.Francois Haynes (Port Elizabeth, 2020-04-10)
