Home smoking bans may soon be in force as concerns about second-hand smoke grow, according to the Cancer Council of South Australia.
An ABC story reported Professor Brenda Wilson, the chief executive of Cancer Council SA, as saying that "it is entirely possible and even probable that people sharing apartment blocks will want those to be smoke-free, too, here in Australia."
Wilson says the demand for smoke-free areas is sparked by increased awareness of the risks of second-hand smoke.
The possibility of a ban follows the controversy earlier this month whereby a building in Sydney introduced a bylaw to stop smoking inside or on balconies. (pi)
