Somerton, Ariz. Bans Smoking in Some Parks

Smoking is now banned in parks in Somerton, Ariz. Well, some parks. And it’s banned, but there’s no punishment for violating the ban.

The Somer City Council unanimously passed a new smoking ban at three of its parks, but fines won’t begin for at least one year. That came from the Youth Anti-Tobacco Coalition, who proposed the new law to the Council. It believed giving more people time to learn about the new law was a better idea.

Somerton is located in Yuma County, in the southwestern portion of Arizona. It has a popular around 15,000.

Last year, San Luis, also located in Yuma County, banned smoking in all of its park.
