Nashville, Tennessee (WTVF) - A new bill proposed at the Metro Council on Tuesday could ban smoking and potentially prohibit the use of e-cigarettes in bars and restaurants in Nashville.
This bill stems from a recent law passed at the individual state level which gives power to counties, such as Davidson County, to decide for themselves whether or not to ban smoking in their venues.
When discussing which places will be affected, it is any venue that requires participants to be at least 21 years old to enter.
There are only a few exceptions: tobacco shops, vape stores, and cigar bars.
In 2007, smoking was prohibited in bars and restaurants, with the exception of venues where patrons were 21 years of age or older.
If the bill is indeed passed by the city council and smoking is found in any of the venues, a fine of 50 dollars may be imposed for every instance of being caught. It is currently unclear whether the venue itself will face any trouble.
