Smoking in indoor public spaces has generally been banned. But what about in public outdoor spaces. The city's Parks and Rec committee has received city staff input on the potential health impacts of smoking in playgrounds near children and the city likely will proceed to enact restrictive bylaws.
See this article for more background.

Coupled with the recent news/discovery of "third hand" smoking/residue impacts, 2009 does not appear a good year for smokers.
Do you support banning smoking near children and other vulnerable people in outdoor places?
