“Smoking and vaping could soon be banned “in the majority of public spaces” in Melbourne’s CBD under a council proposal. The City of Melbourne released their “Towards Smoke-free” draft policy on Thursday, detailing the planned expansion of existing no-smoking areas throughout the CBD by 2025. Consultation on the proposal to ban smoking in Bourke Street Mall in 2019 showed that 83 per cent of individuals and 83 per cent of businesses supported the move. The council said it was going to set about expanding existing smoke-free areas, banning and monitoring the sale of tobacco products to minors, and establish new no-smoking areas over the coming five years.”
