New Carlisle, Ohio Rejects Parks Smoking Ban
A proposal to ban smoking in New Carlisle, Ohio parks was rejected by the city council this week in a 4-3 vote.
There was concern among council members about the legality of such a ban as well as an infringement on civil liberties, according to a report from New Carlisle News. Members of the city council acknowledged that smokers have the right to use the parks as well, particularly since their taxes help fund the building and upkeep of the spaces.
Council member Rick Lowrey went so far to say that if someone was smoking near him in a park, it is his obligation to move, not the smoker’s.
New Carlisle is home to approximately 5,800 residents and is located 60 miles west of Columbus.

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.
