A complete ban on smoking and vaping is coming to the 14 parks of St. Anthony, Idaho, as the city council passed the proposal after its third reading on Thursday.

The specifics of the ban have not yet been posted on the city’s website, but RexburgStandardJournal.com reports that violators will be subject to an infraction and fine. The article states that the specific amount of the fine is to be determined at a future council meeting, possibly as soon as its next one on April 27.

St. Anthony is located in southeastern Idaho and is home to approximately 3,500 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.
