As an ex smoker I understand nicotine withdrawal and believe people will put themselves at greater risk to obtain tobacco products illegally if the sale is not permitted.Derek Watling (Cape Town , 2020-04-29)

My husband and son smokes. In Europe, it has been proven that people who smoke are less susceptible to Covid-19Then, apart from that, government is losing millions in revenue by stopping the sale of tobacco products

I believe the Government is encouraging smokers to engage in criminal activities by obtaining cigarettes illegally, which they will. The Government could be making a fortune in sin taxes and even double the price of cigarettes during all lockdown levels. This tax could go towards a Covid 19 fund.Lana Hughes (Johannesburg , 2020-04-29)

I am signing because this is bullshit. We are already stuck at home. We are not having random people over like the ministers or going to lunches with our friends/families like the ministers are. We are respecting this lockdown yet the government cant respect us and our wishes.This is bullshit and taking away people's rights to choose.

The president stated tabacoo products will be allowed from 1st may. I smoke but don't share my smokes. How can I share under Lockdown anyways. I'm not near anyone. Smoking does not encourage socializingNadia Van Staden (Gauteng , 2020-04-29)

Let us have our tobacco products! It is our constitutional right to use tobacco.This lockdown is stressful on households and the use of tobacco reduces stress levels.
Domestic violence is rising because smokers no longer have cigarettes and it is just making people crazy!!!

Not that i am a smoker myself i would like to think of all the other people that smokes, it helps them to calm and is indeed a stress reliever. To those who signed against it, what ia the purpose as they aren't even in the company of any smoker, so why ban it. Lift the ban pleaseChristine Meiring (Kempton park, 2020-04-29)

Although not a smoker myself I feel that it is the individual and not for government to decide if someone should be able to smoke. If the sharing is the problem then all foods should be banned as they can be shared as well. Black market sales will florish and income to government will be lost.Geeske Reitsma (Gillitts, 2020-04-29)
