What do you think of a proposed smoking ban in playground areas of city parks?

I think it would be a good idea because it would teach kids playing on the playgrounds to stay away from cigarettes.

I’m all for it. I’m a respiratory nurse and I see a lot of people with lung disease.

Kathy Moran, Winterport

I think it’s good, but there should be something for the smokers. They should be allowed to have an area, but not around children.

Linda Bezanker, Bangor

I think it’s great. That’s where kids play and I don’t think they should be subjected to secondhand smoke.

David Prescott, Bangor

I think it’s a good idea and I’m a smoker. I don’t think the children should be subjected to it.

Jerry Mundy, Bangor

I’m not a smoker, but there has to be an area for smoking parents to smoke. As long as it’s not right next to the children but the parents can still see them.

Denise Iarrobino, Bangor

I’m all for it. I take my kids there and they’re exposed to secondhand smoke whether they want to be or not.

Greta Dube, Winterport

I think it’ll be hard to enforce so I’m against it on those grounds.
