A new petition is calling for Brisbane CBD’s smoking ban to be extended to include Edward Street between Ann and Queen Streets.
The petition, started by Brisbane City Councillor Kara Cook, also wants hostels on Edward and Ann Street to have some responsibility for cigarette butt litter and congestion from people at the hostel entry.
The CBD’s current smoking bans cover public transport waiting areas, outdoor pedestrian malls and within 5 metres of an entrance to an enclosed space.
