Snowflake council approves first reading to tighten smoking restrictions
Summary
On first reading the council approved changes to Town Code Title 4, Chapter 4 on smoking restrictions. Police Chief Martin told the council vapor dissipates faster than smoke but can still be smelled by nearby people; the measure passed by voice vote for a future final reading.
The Snowflake Town Council on April 6 approved on first reading Ordinance 2021-04, which amends Town Code Title 4, Chapter 4 regarding smoking restrictions.
Chief Martin presented the proposed changes and responded to a council question from Kerry Ballard about whether vapor is simply "air" or odorless. Chief Martin said vapor "dissipates much faster than smoke because it is vapor, however people nearby would be able to smell it." The council approved the ordinance’s first reading by title only and will consider subsequent readings as required by local code.
The minutes do not include detailed text of the ordinance within the record; the council’s motion advanced the ordinance for further consideration.
