Iosco County, Mich. Developing New Smoking Ban
The Iosco County Board of Commissioners has begun the process of crafting a new smoking ban for the county, but unlike the trend of including parks, this one appears to exempt from the ban.
The first proposed ordinance was presented to the board on June 4, who has expressed the desire to get input from department heads, employees and labor unions before moving forward with the ban that would prohibit smoking on county property. The request for the proposed ban came from the board after a fire at the Iosco County EMS Station was blamed on smoking, according to the Iosco County News-Herald.
As it is currently written, the ordinance would ban the use of any tobacco product on all county campuses.
A timeline for the board to vote on the matter has not been announced.
Iosco County is located in central Michigan and borders Lake Huron on the eastern side of the state’s lower peninsula. It is home to approximately 25,000 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.
