Why should I be told by government if I can smoke or not. I also disagree with the same reason given for the ban is that smokers are a higher risk. This is not true as I know many that are still smoking illegally and not one has been tested positive or have any symptoms.Georgia Halgreen (Winterton, 2020-06-28)

It is the right of people to smoke. It does not affect the brain like alcohol. If you are a long term smoker your lungs are already damaged. It turns good citizins into criminals to buy illegal cigarettes.Andre Kotze (Shelly Beach , 2020-06-28)

The ban on the sale of cigerattes ,to be honest it doesn't make sense .it is not supported by any of the scientific guard lines against corona virus .Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma she is just trying to force her self into presidency.Why tormenting the people.You can't force anyone to stop smoking unless they decides from their hearts to do so.Wiseman Mkhabela (Capetown, 2020-07-11)

I'm signing because this is supposed to be a democracy. How can 2000 signatures decide the fate of eleven million people?Charles Von Weilligh (Germiston, 2020-07-11)

I am not in agreement with the reason for the ban. More people will loose their income and be bankrupt because of the ban than people that will die because of the invfection.Hilton Johnson (Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

Myself and my all my family and friends all smoke, banning cigarettes is unjust and unfair, withdrawal symptoms are breaking up families and those who can't stop are paying ridiculous amounts for illegal cigarettes, please let us smokeTracey Murray (East London, 2020-08-09)
