No place to smoke in Boulder, Colorado

Finding a place to smoke tobacco outdoors is about to get harder in Boulder, Colorado, the US, where public outdoor smoking is already banned on a popular pedestrian mall and around city buildings, according to a story by Greg Campbell for The Daily Caller.

Campbell reported that the existing ban was to be extended to encompass the property of a local high school, a corner of the University of Colorado-Boulder, and some residential neighborhoods, creating a smoke-free outdoor zone encompassing several square blocks in the heart of the city.

The new ban prohibits smoking tobacco and vaping electronic cigarettes in alleys behind businesses, within 25 feet of bus stops, on and within 15 feet of all walking and hiking paths through city parks, and on all city-owned open spaces.

The council even considered banning chewing tobacco in the no-smoking zone, but ultimately agreed to consider a later resolution banning spitting.
