Survey addresses smoking on park playgrounds

Do you think smoking in city playgrounds and spray grounds should be permitted? A survey is hoping to gauge the general attitude of residents concerning the issue in Louisville Metro.
In a release from Public Health and Wellness, Director Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt said, "We want to measure public sentiment for protecting our children in outdoor spaces where they play."
In 2013 signs that read "children at play, thank you for not smoking" were placed in Cherokee, Iroquois and Shawnee Parks. Public Health and Wellness staff said the number of cigarette butts left in the park decreased after the signs were posted.
In order to gather more information they are asking residents to take their survey by March 31.
