Reasons To Stop Smoking: Another City In Los Angeles Says Quit Smoking
[ Posted in: Reasons To Quit Smoking, Pot Smoking, Smoking Ban, Smoking Women, Secondhand Smoke on November 7th, 2008 ]
Another city in Los Angeles county says ‘Stop Smoking here’! After Santa Monica, Burbank, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Baldwin Park, and most recently Pasadena, Glendale now also has a strict citywide smoking ban - and it is effective immediately!
To protect people from secondhand smoke, smoking is prohibited in parks, all city property, publicly accessible private property, common areas of apartment complexes, hotel rooms, and outdoor dining patios (unless there is a 10-foot separation between smokers and non-smokers).
A task force to enforce these strategies will be formed, and repeat offenders will have to pay fines of up to $500.
