Bridgeton, Mo. Approves Parks Smoking Ban

Smokers in the St. Louis, Mo. suburb of Bridgeton have only two weeks left to light up in the city’s parks, as on Wednesday the city council approved a smoking ban that will cover parks and most city properties, save for a few designated areas.

While the proposal passed 7-1, that one could end up reshaping the ordinance quite significantly. Councilman Bob Saettele, the lone opponent to the ban, said he will introduce an amendment as soon as he can, according to a report from STLToday.com. Seattele indicated he may look for exemptions to be carved out for the city’s July 4th celebration and the city’s lone golf course.

Violators of the ban will be subject to fines up to $1,000.

Bridgeton is home to an estimated 11,600 residents. The city is located 20 miles northeast of St. Louis.

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.
