Johnson City to consider smoking ban, noise ordinance changes

The meeting will occur at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 601 E. Main St.
Fines for smoking
Changes to Title 11 of the city code would prohibit the use of tobacco or vapor products in public parks, playgrounds, greenways and any other city property accessible to youth. People violating the ban could face an up to $50 fine.
Smoking is already prohibited in parks as a result of city policy, but because it’s not an ordinance, it is not comprehensively applied and can be difficult to enforce.
A law passed by the Tennessee General Assembly this year gives local governments the authority to prohibit the use of tobacco products on public property by ordinance. The law became effective on July 1.
