Responding to a presentation by high school students, the Dwight Village Board of Trustees has passed a ban on the use of tobacco within parks as well as at the village’s swimming pool and lake area.

According to a report by WCSJNews.com, the proposal passed by a 5-1 vote. The village has not announced when the ban will go into effect.

Dwight is home to just 4,000 residents and is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago.

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.
