    Anju Friday, 09 May 2014 07:08 AM

    nanda Friday, 09 May 2014 09:09 AM

    Joke Of The Day? Mr. Journalist

    sarath Friday, 09 May 2014 09:19 AM

    Good idea. But these cunning political opportunists cannot be trusted especially corrupted politicians.

    Pathi Friday, 09 May 2014 10:02 AM

    The message given to the public is that smoking is bad, but taking drugs is ok

    kumar Friday, 09 May 2014 06:46 AM

    Don't smoke! use drugs instead !

    The citizen Friday, 09 May 2014 10:16 AM

    Without staging these boru shows at the expense of peoples of this country, get that picture approved by the Parliament of Sri Lanka printed on the packet soon. That is what is required. The moment smokers see that picture so many will certainly give up smoking. Is there anything else to be done in this regard?

    Dilan Fernando Friday, 09 May 2014 10:19 AM

    Many here would have wished if they could display a banner like this
    " Heroin is not a Drug ..it is a Medicine... "

    Asokamala Friday, 09 May 2014 05:42 AM

    These politicians are trying to educate the public only on the adverse effects of smoking of cigarettes. Other drugs brought into the country for consumption is alright.

    Naveen Friday, 09 May 2014 05:44 AM

    අදහස නම් හොදයි නමුත් මේක පිටිපස්සෙ ඉන්න කට්ටිය ගැන තම ප්‍රශ්නේ,
