[CANADA] The Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association hopes to ban smoking at youth matches following complaints from from referees and parents that the air was filledwith cigarette smoke from fans.
“There were a couple of incidents last year where a referee had to stop a game because somebody had lit up … right on the sideline and it was waftingonto the field,” association president Alastair Gillespie said. “We’re doing this for the protection of thekids.”
Outdoor smoking bans are growing across Canada.
Toronto has banned smoking near all playgrounds and wading pools.
Wouldn’t it make sense to put up “no smoking” signs near playing field. It all stems to being curtious towards players and parents. I smoke myself but have enough common sense to walk away from the players field to a designated smoking area.
