How about hiring more staff to clear all the drug needles and used condoms out of the park first.

More -- How about Zero Tolerance and draconian punishment for the ignorant bastards who deposit drug needles and condoms in the first place?

People don't use drugs or condoms in Central London?

[GypsyGoth]

I don't smoke and I don't like people smoking near me, however banning people from smoking outdoors is ridiculous.

[Bluerang1]

I thought it was already banned in parks

My lil old Nana died of lung cancer and she ain't never smoked in her life. Oh, how she loved to sit in the park. R.I.P Nana.

... just as there are equally as many smokers who are trying to quit? Ridiculous generalisation.

[Marsh.]

Snails?

[Thotmas]

Yes

[JoshBB]

Honestly, yes. It is in places like parks where teens try smoking for the first time.

[Good King Glennceslas]

Teens will smoke anywhere.

Boris has now said no for this.

But Dr. Darzi is standing by it

he deals with cancer everyday.
NHS London backs him
He said when they brought in the ban in in pubs and food places
it was the same
saying no.

Preferably with a never-ending chain of Regal King Size lit cigarettes.

[Creggle]

pubs and restaurants or indoors in general i can understand, but parks are just plain stupid, nobody smokes in some strangers face anyway, there is zero risk in a large outdoors area to non smokers. this is literally non-smokers waving their dicks around

[joeysteele]

There is a massive difference between smoking in a building as to smoking outdoors. This would be just daft.
However the roads adjoining the Parks but not in the parks clearly would be smoking areas.
How stupid is that.

Anyway I agree with Livia, smokers pay a massive amount in tax and if they cannot smoke in public buildings then no way should they be told what to do that isn't illegal in open public areas.

I neither want to or would live in new York, nice to see you praising the States at last arista.
I live in the UK and I think when I am next in london,I will join Livia and just walk round with a lighted cigarette in the parks too.

If they make smoking cigarettes illegal, then this would make more sense, however then the Govt. would lose a fortune in tax revenues.
So if they are not going to make smoking illegal then stop getting at people who do.
Also if they ban them from smoking in public areas like parks in London,then smokers should get a reduction in their council tax in my view.

You'd better hope for your own sake that's not true, Marshy.

Joey, it's a date. You and me, Hyde Park, big rug, pile of cushions and a massive hookah pipe to share. Do it in style...
