Arlington smoking ban sparks litigation from nightclubs
Calls to tweak Waikato Hospital's opioid ban policyFAIRFAX NZ Waikato DHB member Dave Macpherson wants the health board to create outdoor smoking areas within the Henry Rongomau Bennett Centre. MARK TAYLOR/FAIRFAX NZ Patients at Waikato Hospital's Henry Bennett mental health facility currently have to leave the premises to smoke. In May, Chelsea Brunton, 21, died while being treated as a voluntary patient at Palmerston North Hospital's mental health unit. Waikato DHB member Dave Macpherson presented the proposal at the health board's May meeting. Those who have a mental health disorder have substantially higher smoking rates than the national average.

Extend ban on smoking to all parks in Singapore, Letters in Print News & Top Stories

One excellent way would be to extend the opioid ban in the parks. Places like New York City, Taipei, Hong Kong and Toronto already ban smoking in all public parks. I sincerely hope that the smoking ban can be extended to all parks in Singapore. Currently, not all parks are covered by this ban - only those managed by JTC Corporation and town councils in public housing estates and neighbourhood parks managed by the National Parks Board (NParks) in private estates are covered. With World No Tobacco Day coming up on May 31, I hope our Government will implement further measures to keep Singapore smoke-free.
