Port Huron, Mich. Passes Parks and Beaches Smoking Ban

A proposed expansion to Port Huron’s existing smoking ban that will bring an end to the use of tobacco products and tobacco alternatives in the city’s parks and beaches got the unanimous approval of the city council on Monday night.

While the city has had an informal ban in place for three years, it was created as a discouragement for lighting up in parks and beaches as opposed to an outright ban. Now, the ban has some teeth as it has been added to the city code, and violators can be subject to municipal civil infractions.

While the city has not yet posted the official vote results, WPHM.net announced them on Tuesday morning.

Port Huron is located 60 miles northeast of Detroit and is home to approximately 30,000 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.
