Nantucket, Mass. Passes Smoking Ban
The Nantucket Board of Health passed a ban on smoking at all town-owned recreation areas, a move that will bring an end to smoking at the beach and in parks at the end of the month.
The vote was unanimous, according to a report in the Inquirer and Mirror. The city has not posted the text of the new ordinance on its website yet, though the report indicates that violators can be fined for smoking in areas where it is prohibited, which includes adjacent parking areas.
The ban goes into effect May 31.
Nantucket is home to just over 10,000 people but is well known for being a popular vacation destination, with the population swelling to 50,000 residents during the summer months.

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.
