Morningside councillor Kara Cook has called for a smoking ban to reduce “clouds of toxic smoke” on Edward, Ann and Queen St footpaths.
Cook presented a petition to the Brisbane City Council asking to enforce the Edward and Ann street hostel to take responsibility for cigarette litter and congestion outside the hostel's entry.
While the council assessed the request, they ruled a smoking ban was already in place within the area, and the litter was the obligation of hotel management.
