Abstract:

The Durham County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a measure to ban smoking on sidewalks and trails, bus stops, parks, and other publicly owned property. Passed in February, the ban goes into effect later this month and violators will be charged a $50 fine if caught smoking any tobacco products in the newly protected public areas.
