All shared public spaces - streets, plazas and parks - will become no-go zones for smokers

Smokers will soon face fines for lighting up on the streets of North Sydney, after the local council backed a proposal to ban smoking in the CBD.

The ban will start with a three-month public awareness campaign to notify residents and workers of the change, before the council starts to put signs up.
