According to a report by AM1050 News on the evening of December 12th, the council of Bournville, Indiana, held its first discussion and approved a regulation aimed at banning all forms of smoking in public parks within the town. The regulation includes fines for violators.
The Tobacco Education Coordinator of Marshall County has requested the Bulltown City Council to consider updating its smoking policy to be more comprehensive, including e-cigarettes. She informed the council that Calver City has already implemented a smoking ban in its parks, and both the Plymouth Park Committee and Marshall County Park Department have also implemented smoking bans.
The Borough Council of Burnham took a decision to implement a regulation with fines in order to penalize those who violate the rules. Their aim is to reduce opportunities for children and families to be exposed to secondhand smoke, and to promote foot traffic in their parks.
A new regulation in Bullbon public parks stipulates that the use of any smoking devices will be deemed illegal. This includes, but is not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, and any other devices capable of producing smoke for inhalation or exhalation. Individuals found in violation of this regulation will face a fine of $50 for their first offense, $100 for a second offense, and $150 for any subsequent violations.
Penalties for violations will be issued by the Bullben City Government, and fines must be paid to the Bullben City Treasury within 30 days of the incident. All fines will be deposited into the funds of the "Breach Fine Bureau." This regulation has been unanimously approved by the Bullben Town Council.
