In Waynesville, North Carolina the town alderman voted late last week to ban smoking on all town property. This included parks, ball fields, greenways, public parking lots, the grounds of town buildings and sidewalks.
The latter wasn’t easily passed as it was met with heated debate that led to the banning of smoking on sidewalks which was done under the guise of providing a healthy lifestyle in the town.
The new ban which still has enforcement issues to work out will go into effect in November.
