Dr Andrew Taylor is the director of public health at Waltham Forest council.
He is speaking out on implementing a voluntary smoking ban at children's play areas across the borough.
New signs warning against smoking have been installed across 30 fenced-off plays areas in Waltham Forest.
Dr Taylor has said it is not the council acting as 'Big Brother' and is a voluntary ban.
