A metro Atlanta community has banned smoking in all city parks. The Gwinnett Daily Post reports (http://bit.ly/JaU0Px) that the Norcross City Council voted Monday to ban the use of all tobacco products on city property, including city parks and park sidewalks.
City Councilman Ross Kaul sponsored the move, saying the move was needed due to the dangers of second-hand smoke and the city's responsibility to its residents to provide a safe and healthy environment. Councilman David McLeroy didn't support the Tobacco Free Facilities ordinance. He said he doesn't like to see city money spent on attorney fees to enforce such rules. City Manager Rudolph Smith says enforcement procedures and fines have not yet been established for those cited for smoking in prohibited areas.
