What the petition asks
The Royal Parks serve as the 'lungs' of London - a green refuge where Londoners can go to find fresh air in a city with some of the worst air quality in the UK. As such, this precious space should be kept smoke-free so that people don't have to dodge second hand smoke as they exercise/relax.
