The Rocky River City Council in Ohio could vote today to ban smoking and vaping on city property, including public parks.
The legislation is set for its third and final reading at Monday’s regular council meeting at City Hall.
According to media reports, the new law would apply to all publicly owned property in the city, which would include the city’s 10 parks.
Rocky River’s city policies already bar smoking on all city-owned properties. If public staffers catch someone smoking, they can escort them off the property.
The proposed ordinance would make it a minor misdemeanor, and violators could be ticketed and/or fined.
