Street View - Do you think the council should enforce its proposed smokefree areas?

No. I think we should help people to give up smoking in a positive way, not a punitive way.

I think people should have a warning in areas that are smokefree. But, not a fine as such, not at the beginning. Signage and education is a better way to go.

Yes, they should. I'm not a fan of smoking in public places. Whether it would work or not, I don't know.

I'm a smoker so I reckon it's all a total load of rubbish.

To be honest, I see it as a waste of time if they are not going to enforce it.
