Eventhough I am not a smoker who gives the right of others to not to allow smokers to buye cigarettes
It's their lungs, money and lives. Dont be a prick and intrude on others rights.....

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.

Husband is a chain smoker and going cold turkey will make him very sick. I stocked up enough for the initial and extended lockdown but Level 4 came as a surprise

My husband and son smokes. In Europe, it has been proven that people who smoke are less susceptible to Covid-19

Then, apart from that, government is losing millions in revenue by stopping the sale of tobacco products

Lindy Lombard (Kempton Park, 2020-04-29)

Renzke Liebenberg (Kempton Park, 2020-04-29)

I am smoking in my yard outside my home alone. Sigarette sales must be allowed

Quintin Kleyn (Kempton Park, 2020-04-29)

#63

Im singing because i am a smoker, cigarettes does not make u act irresponsible so why ban it?? Yes it affects your health but if you have been smoking for many years and then all of a sudden can't smoke you ghet withdrawal some people will die because of these withdrawal symptoms as i believe there has been deaths caused by smokers who had these symptoms

It’s got nothing to do with the virus and all the restriction is doing is causing MORE illegal trading!!!!!

I'm bipolar and stopping smoking will cause deep depression and suicidal idiation as has happened before.

Gary Dugmore (Centurion, 2020-04-29)

#88

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)

#89

Im signing for the ban on sigarettes to be lifted

Renier Steyn (Alberton, 2020-04-29)

#90

Its my democratic right to smoke and drink in my home. So it's my right to buy these products legally at the shops.

Paul Van Lieshout (KZN, 2020-04-29)

#93

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.

Malynda van der Merwe (Pinetown, 2020-04-29)

I am a smoker and demestic abuse will rise if not allowed

To further just black market sales and lose billions in tax. And then 2000 submissions about sharing cigs and saliva zols THAT they listen to.

Craig Smyth (Roodepoort, 2020-04-29)

#105

The National Command Council is useless, nothing but a bunch of petty tyrants that get their kicks from controlling the country that show no possible benefit to spreading the virus

Andrew Jansen Van Rensburg (Johannesburg, 2020-04-29)

I feel we have the right so smoke and pose no threat or harm to anyone by doing so in the privacy of our homes

B Hefer (Gauteng, 2020-04-29)

#119

The ban on cigarettes goes against my human right, I do not support black market cigarettes but have been forced to buy on the black market . people are still getting cigarettes .

Michael Templeman (johannesburg, 2020-04-29)

#121

As we are all isolated in our homes, personal habits will not affect others. Sign this position to make it know that you support the sale of tobacco products.

chris dippenaar (Kempton Park, 2020-04-29)

The same argument that made weed legal applies to cigarettes. None of your business

Many more people smoke than non smokers. It does not cause family abuse. Even if smoking is only allowed in your own home, you cannot infect anybody.

Love Weiss (Alberton , 2020-04-29)

#132

It's my democratic right to decide whether I want to smoke or not. Is this a democracy or a communistic government. Concentrate on more important things by keeping the people at home like we have and have been doing

Linda Merrick (Krugersdorp , 2020-04-29)

#138

I live with anxiety and smoking, despite its bad impact on physical health, helps me tremendously to cope. Especially under these abnormal circumstances of the covid 10 pandemic and lockdown.

Hanli Human (Cape Town , 2020-04-29)

#141

risk will be less for me to smoke at home as opposed to going out to find cigarettes from an unscrupulous person.

Brett peachey (benoni, 2020-04-29)

Charm De Jager (Kwa Zulu Natal , 2020-04-29)

#160

In lockdown i am not a threat to anyone else, i can not share "skyf" with others. In lockdown you are not suppose to be with other persons than your family.

James Pretorius (Alberton, 2020-04-29)

#170

Because there are 5 smokers in my household. I am basically the only NON smoker.
Does the Government Ever think of thoughs that needs to deel with moody freaken smokers. NO.
We are in Lockdown, I will not stay at my house with 5 moody, irritable people that cant get their cigarettes. It's NOT FAIR on NON SMOKERS!!!!!!

Carmen Noel (Benoni, 2020-04-29)

#171

I am a smoker. And I can understand not selling alcohol because it changes your personality but not cigarettes. So please sell.

Vasti Oelofse (Potchefstroom, 2020-04-29)

#172

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 socializing

Nadia Van Staden (Gauteng , 2020-04-29)

#173

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!!!

Mari Heystek (Potchefstroom, 2020-04-29)

#174

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 please

Christine Meiring (Kempton park, 2020-04-29)

I am a smoker and promises were made by our president now his underlings are changing the rules.

I am a smoker and feel it is unfair to ban the sale of sigarettes if I am smoking at home and not in public

Tinus Claassen (Alberton , 2020-04-29)

I smoke and refuse to revert to illegal means to obtain sigarette.

Rene Saunders (Brakpan , 2020-04-29)

35days without is more than enough

lizanda claassen (Alberton, 2020-04-29)

#185

You are taking my civil rights

Bobby Cowie (Durban, 2020-04-29)

#191

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)

#195

It's my constitutional right to buy cigarettes.
