Serious Smoking Ban In Belmont, California (San Francisco Bay Area)
[ Posted in: Quit Smoking, Cigarette Smoking, Smoking Ban, Secondhand Smoke on January 11th, 2009 ]
A controversial smoking ban became law Friday in Belmont, in the San Francisco Bay Area. In consideration of second hand smoke, it extends strict anti smoking laws even to apartments and condos.
This anti smoking law is the first of its kind in California, going far beyond the statewide prohibition against cigarette smoking in businesses, restaurants and bars. In Belmont, it is now illegal to smoke inside any multistory, multiunit dwelling.
The City Council says enforcement should be "complaint driven". The fine for each citation is $100. No ifs, ands or butts.
Other cities in the San Francisco Bay Area that have a similar cigarette smoking ordinance are Novato and Dublin.
