Poll: Is it time to ban smoking in public?
Earlier this month the Upper Hutt City Counci voted to extend its existing ban on smoking in public.
The ban covers all parks, reserves and sports grounds, as well as bus stations and bus stops.
Mayor Wayne Guppy said the Council wanted the city’s public spaces to be healthy environments for its children and young people to play in and enjoy.
A number of councils in the region have similar bans. Is it time to become totally smokefree and ban smoking in all public areas?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
