Rejected petition smoking in public areas
More details
I would like smoking in all public areas to be banned. There have been a number of cases of children being burned, having ash or cigarette ends flicked on them, and then the damage from the smoke!! People with health conditions that are exasperated by smoke are daily put in danger in our towns and cities. It is time it was banned.
