“We do hand out the odd fine, I think it’s about $60 off the top of my head, not many but we do,” she said.

“We want to make it a really pedestrian-friendly CBD, we want them to have a really pleasant experience.”

3AW Breakfast ran an instant poll with listeners, returning an 80 per cent yes response to having Melbourne go smoke-free and 20 per cent no.
