At its most recent meeting the Conshohocken Borough Council voted to adopt a tobacco free policy throughout borough parks, playgrounds and other recreational facilities.

According to a press release, the resolution helps exemplify non-smoking behavior to children and youth, and to provide children, youth and their families with a safe, smoke-free environment, supports the Young Lungs at Play program – an initiative seeking to further protect children health and the environment.

The resolution went into effect immediately upon passage.

Conshohocken is home to just over 8,000 residents and is located 15 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

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 MLB.com, 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.
