Smoking allowed in playgrounds area??

Medea from St Heliers

Greetings to you all, neighbours!
I'd like to put this topic forward for discussion...Does anyone else believe that smoking should NOT be allowed within children playgrounds areas? I have no intention to be judgemental about smoking in itself but I find out of order that some parents feel it's ok to smoke in playgrounds where hang out young kids and babies! The council should put up signs to forbid the mal practice, in my opinion. You would think it's common sense and down to wisdom unfortunately doesn't seem to be always the case. It already happened in Mission Bay and St. Heliers playgrounds...I don't appreciate my one year old being subjected to sigarette smoke!
I thought it was my civil duty to share. Thank you for the understanding
