Reno, Nev. Parks Could Soon Go Smoke-Free
A proposal to ban smoking in the parks of Reno, Nev. got the support of the city’s Recreation and Parks Commission on Tuesday, as seven of the nine members voted in favor of forwarding it to the city council, with two of the members absent from the meeting.
While the city has not posted the full text of the ban that the commission voted on, the meeting’s agenda indicates that smoking in all parks would be banned unless a designated smoking area was provided and had proper signage. A report from KOLOtv.com indicated that is how the ban passed.
The ban is not currently on the agenda for the city council’s next meeting, which occurs on May 23.
Reno is home to approximately 245,000 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.
