Marietta, Ga. Bans Smoking in Downtown Core
At its meeting on Wednesday, the Marietta City Council gave final approval to an ordinance that will prohibit smoking on all public property of the city’s downtown core, such as sidewalks, streets and alleys. The affected area is just under 20 square blocks, and includes the Marietta Square Market and Glover Park.
The council also passed a related ban that will prevent restaurants who lease sidewalk space from the city from allowing customers to smoke in those areas.
Both bans are set to go into effect immediately.
Marietta is home to just over 61,000 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.
