SMOKEFREE: Rotorua Lakes Council is extending its smokefree outdoor spaces policy.

Street view: What do you think about Rotorua bus stops, skate parks and sports grounds becoming smokefree from today and Eat Streat and markets from January next year?

I agree, a lot of people don't like smoking, [smokers] are in the minority. It can be quite in your face.

I think it's a good idea, especially as these are areas where there are heaps of children around.

I think it's a good idea. Nothing worse than eating food with people smoking around you.

I agree with it. I'm a smoker but I don't go to parks or places like that to smoke. I'm a mum too and wouldn't want people smoking around my children.

I think it will be hard. Customers on Eat Streat will have to find somewhere else to smoke.
