Against: 140 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 0
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Democratic Communist Movement Of Asterhaven | 0 | No | The proposal Itself is not very supported by us, especially with gambling, tobacco and vaping regulations and also fossil fuel extraction. Marijuana policy is neutral by us while mobile phones banned on schoolground is something we could approve, but we cannot approve the rest. |
| Democratic Socialists Of Asterhaven | 140 | No | We reject this proposal |
| Freedom Alliance | 0 | No | Some laws on here sound completely out of tune. |
| Gooners Proposer | 0 | Yes | No reason given |
| Liberal Voters' League | 0 | No | We completely disagree. |
| Opportunity | 0 | No | We do not support free tobacco or nicotine products. |
| Radical Action | 0 | Abstain | We cannot support the use of state funds to distribute cigarettes and tobacco. The law seems somewhat misaligned, prohibiting marijuana but allowing compulsory casinos and gambling; it sounds a bit libertarian, but it also gives the state broad powers. |
