    "content": "the students who are found with e-cigarettes. I am glad that as I am talking, we have wonderful students in very nice uniforms sitting up in your Gallery. We want to tell our students that they are the future of this country. They must desist from this kind of behavior because they are destroying themselves, their families and our society. We will lose a generation because of that. We want to tell our students, now that you came to the House when we were discussing drugs, please, run away from them. Even the Bible, which I believe says ‘resist the devil and it will flee from you’. If you do not resist this thing, it will catch up with you. When you are fully addicted, it will be very difficult for you to get out of it. We want to encourage our students. You have come here and heard our voices today. Please, run away from this. In the same law that we are hoping that Sen. Muma will come up with, we hope she will give responsibility to parents. How far can parents go and what do we expect of parents? We need to have a responsibility given to the schools so that the school rules and the BOM regulate what comes to school, how they come in, and how they go out. We would like to see the responsibility given to the Government. What is the Government supposed to do? As the Motion has proposed, there is a need to restrict not only smoking areas, but also what people are smoking. Is there not a better way of relaxing or giving people things they can relax with? It is better than giving things that can destroy them because it only goes one way. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very happy. I congratulate Sen. Mumma and we are telling her to move from this Motion straight to a Bill so that we have penalties put in place. With those remarks, I support."
