Lindsay Lohan and Youth Week

Smokers may have to butt out under new proposals

Strathfield's proposed ban on smoking

SMOKERS and business owners are deeply divided over a proposal to ban smoking from all outdoor dining areas currently being considered by Strathfield Council.

If adopted the new policy, outlined at a council meeting earlier this week, would outlaw smoking from all alfresco dining areas on council land. Such a ban would affect a number of popular local cafes, such as Rainbow Cakes, Gloria Jeans, Maldini’s and CC’s Char Grill.
