The city of Radcliff, Ky. has passed a ban on smoking, tobacco use and e-cigarettes in the majority of its city parks, carving out just a handful of small designated smoking areas.

The ban, which goes into effect immediately, was approved by a 5-1 vote during the city council’s meeting on Tuesday, according to WDRB.com.

Radcliff is located just over 40 miles southwest of Louisville, and is home to just over 23,000 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.
