Ana opposes the proposed smoking ban because she thinks it’s not the government’s business to prevent people from doing stuff that harms only themselves.

Pankaj points out that the proposed ban would only apply in situations that expose other people to smoking. Smoking would still be allowed in private. The implicit point is that Ana’s libertarian principle isn’t a good reason for opposing the ban.

We’re looking for a point of disagreement. They disagree over whether the proposed smoking ban would prevent people from doing things that harm only themselves. Ana thinks it would. Pankaj thinks it wouldn’t.

Pankaj doesn’t have an opinion. He doesn’t discuss whether the government should or should not protect people from hurting themselves.

Pankaj doesn’t have an opinion. He doesn’t discuss libertarian principles.

This is a point of disagreement. Ana believes the ban is intended to prevent harm only to smokers themselves. This is why she opposes the ban. Pankaj disagrees, since it bans smoking in public (where others are present).

Ana has no opinion. She believes the ban prevents people from doing things that harm only themselves. But whether this ban applies in public and private or only in private is not clear from her statements.

Pankaj doesn’t have an opinion. He doesn’t discuss whether government should ever regulate anything.
