Marquette, Mich. Bans Smoking at City Parks, Beaches

The largest city in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has banned smoking at its city parks and beaches.

The new ordinance will cover 20 parks and five beaches.

Marquette is located in the center of the Upper Peninsula, on the shores of Lake Superior. It has a population of just over 20,000.
