Saltillo, Miss. Passes Restaurant Smoking Ban
The Saltillo Board of Aldermen officially snuffed out smoking in public buildings on Tuesday night as they unanimously approved the proposed ban.
While details have not been posted on the city’s website, WTVA.com reports that Alderman Brad Woodcock said there will likely be some exceptions to the ban when it goes into effect in 30 days, and that the ban does not apply to electronic cigarettes. Restaurants have been the most discussed part of the ban, as it had previously been legal to light up with a meal.
Saltillo is home to just under 5,000 people and is located in the northwest part of the state, approximately 10 miles north of Tupelo.

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.
