Changes being phased in from July in the Macedon Ranges Shire will ban smoking at playgrounds and around entrances to council-owned buildings. The council is one of only a few in country Victoria to introduce the regulations. The Heart Foundation's Victorian chief executive, Kathy Bell, says she is pleased the shire is setting a good example for other councils.
"In other places that have these bans there's not a lot of enforcement required," she said. "It really just becomes a general expectation, for example, that people aren't going to smoke in a children's playground. "A lot of fines aren't required for that, it's more a community education process." More about smoking ban on this blog.
