Ban smoking in towns and cities outside of designated areas

Petition Details

We want the Government to ban smoking in towns and cities outside of specifically designated areas. Perhaps smoking shelters could be created away from busy pedestrian areas, to help encourage cleaner air and also cleaner streets devoid of cigarette butts.

Additional Information

Smoke from tobacco contains over 7000 chemicals, 70 of which are cancerous. These chemicals are inhaled daily by non-smokers against their will as they walk amongst smokers on the streets. Thousands of people who inhale second hand smoke will die of heart problems or lung cancer. Is it fair that someone else's decision may shorten one's life? Not only does smoking kill people who do not choose to smoke, they are terrible for the environment and unsightly littered all over the street floor.
