I didn't watch Campbell but saw the ads for it and I just thought why on earth would you smoke next to a playground etc? surely it's just common courtesy not to do it. I use to smoke but I never would have smoked around children/play areas or around anyone who didn't smoke for that matter its just plain rude. -------------

Probably the same parents who smoke in their cars. Some people are either just ignorant or they don't care. -------------

| I can't stand people who chose to smoke where I have no choice but to breathe it in. I so hope they do it |

As a smoker I so agree with this. I don't smoke in areas like this, it is for children not adults to sit there and smoke. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Sounds good. They should ban smoking within 10 metres of a bus stop while they're at it  -------------

Lol Alia, I was going to write the same thing. I hate it when people smoke inside bus shelters!
Definitely agree with banning smoking at parks too, although I think it might be one of those things that will be next to impossible to enforce and the rude people who do it will just keep on doing it anyway. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Caramel I was going to say the same thing - how do you enforce it? Its obviously easy to enforce in restaurants / bars, but how would you enforce it in parks. I think you need to go the whole hog and ban it in all public places, like in the US. I get really frustrated when I have to walk through a cloud of smoke with people standing outside buildings smoking. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I smoke and i say ban it in parks, no need for it in there, if your at a park usually your there with your child so why do you need to be smoking anyway?
As for bus shelters, well i smoke in them , IF i was in there first, as soon as someone else comes in i move OUT of the bus shelter. but then im the type of smoker who moves to the other side if its blowing in a non smokers face, or if a person walks past i'll hold it behind me, cupped in my hand . But i know plenty dont care. |

Yes I had a fight in a Dunedin bus stop because 2 ladies that were beside me and my kids in the bus stop lite up their smokes. They gave me a dirty look but moved without a word...they obviously knew what was good for them lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

enforcing it would be the parents who either choose not to smoke or are smoker but don't smoke in that area. I would pipe up if I knew I had a right to say don't smoke round the park ------------- Ann
