Poll: Is it time to ban smoking in public?
Earlier this month the Upper Hutt City Counci voted to extend its existing ban on smoking in public.
The ban covers all parks, reserves and sports grounds, as well as bus stations and bus stops.
Mayor Wayne Guppy said the Council wanted the city’s public spaces to be healthy environments for its children and young people to play in and enjoy.
A number of councils in the region have similar bans. Is it time to become totally smokefree and ban smoking in all public areas?
-
62.7% Should there be a total ban on smoking in public
-
37.3% No the current rules are tough enough

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
