Most smokers in Melbourne CBD are Asian immigrants (anecdotally). I think it's culturally hard for them to give it up, which is a real shame as I hate walking through clouds of smoke on Little Bourke St. Not sure what can be done about it though, banning it outright I think is too far as it's an assault on people's personal freedoms but I would like to see a ban on smoking on the street/public places. I don't want to be secondary smoking the stuff, it smells awful and probably does a decent chunk of damage if you are walking through it every day though that is unsubstantiated, I haven't read any studies on secondary smoking. Atleast most smokers here seem responsible when disposing the butts. Silver lining I guess.
