In February, the Conway City Council rejected a ban on smoking in businesses—a major win for smokers—but move forward a watered-down proposal that would prohibit smoking in city parks, buildings, vehicles and city-sponsored events.

Last night, that bill passed its final reading.

Conway is located about 100 miles northeast of Charleston and 15 miles northwest of Myrtle Beach. It has a population of approximately 19,300.
