Smoking ban for 800+ dining spots across Auckland

Angela Quigan Reporter from Stuff

Put out that cigarette, smokers!

The council is making more than 800 restaurants, cafes and bars with outdoor dining smokefree as part of new licensing rules.

What do you think of the ban? Do smokers ruin your dining experience? Or do you enjoy a cigarette with a couple of after work drinks? How will this affect you? (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your comments used on Stuff)
