Yates County, N.Y. Bans Tobacco on County Grounds
A complete ban on the use of tobacco is coming to property owned and leased by Yates County, N.Y., as on Monday the county legislature approved a proposal as part of its regularly scheduled meeting.
The new ban only has two exceptions: roadways and right of ways located within the county road system, and in moving vehicles which are in the process of exiting or entering property owned or leased by the county.
Violators will be subject to a $1,000 fine once the new law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2019.
News of the ban’s passage was initially reported by CommunityMediaGroup.com.
Yates County is located in western New York and is home to approximately 25,000 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.
