Smoking or vaping outside Melbourne landmarks and transport hubs could be banned under a proposal to expand existing smoke-free zones in the city.

There are smoking bans in 13 areas across Melbourne, including Bourke Street Mall and McKillop Street, and the City of Melbourne is considering expanding the zones.

“The rise in e-cigarette usage has been alarming, especially among our younger generation,” Lord Mayor Sally Capp said.

There needs to be as much MSM rhetoric on the damages of vaping comparable to the $’s spent on Covid.

The thought Police strike again! If the CBD wants to revive traffic there, they should avoid alienating people. In any case far fewer than 90% do not smoke. its a question of choice being removed. An attack on freedom of choice .

Tourists from India and China are not going to be happy about this 🚭

Thank god hate it

Royal Melbourne Hospital- too many nurses are puffing up near the building even when many signs are posted

U breathe in car exhaust fumes all day! Ban cars?

Do the same for alcohol then!

Ridiculous

'mulls' lol

But we neeeeeed more injecting rooms.

Most of us agree smoking as unhealthy habit, however personal freedom is equally important and never to be forgotten. In our country there are many restrictions and that is equally dangerous. This is all to be well balanced.

Just do eeettt already cityofmelbourne! Also, let's transform our 'little' streets please. It would really rejuvenate the grid and provide refuge amongst what is increasingly a soulless, windy, grey, and desolate city.

Excellent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good

Why not just ban smoking completely.

FU.

Can we smoke inside the injecting rooms?
