Grove City, Ohio to Begin Enforcement of Parks Smoking Ban
It’s been illegal to smoke in the parks of Grove City, Ohio since February 2016, but the city is about to step up both education and enforcement of the law.
The city has begun installing signage at all of its parks that will inform visitors of the ban, which prohibits people from smoking carrying lighted cigarettes, pipes, cigars, other tobacco products or smoking materials within all areas of public parks leased or owned by the City, which have been wholly designated as smoke free zones.
Violators of the ban can face a minor misdemeanor for a first offense, while subsequent offenses are considered fourth degree misdemeanors. Additionally, those who smoke in parks can face bans from the areas.
Grove City is located 10 miles southwest of Columbus and is home to approximately 39,000 residents.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
