Randolph County, N.C. Bans Smoking on County-Owned Property
The Randolph County Commissioners have passed a ban on smoking and tobacco usage on any piece of property owned by the county, including parks, recreation areas and around government buildings.
It was the last of those places that spurred the ban, according to a report by MyFox8.com, as people complained about having to walk through clouds of smoke to get to the county courthouse and libraries. It grew from there to include all county-owned properties, a change that will go into effect on May 11.
Violators will be subject to a $50 fine if caught smoking or using tobacco products on county-owned property.
Randolph County is home to approximately 143,000 residents, with Asheville its county seat.

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.
