Berkeley Expands Smoking Ban
Berkeley Expands Smoking Ban
BERKELEY, Calif. (KCBS) -- The Berkeley City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to expand an already-tough outdoor smoking ban to include all commercial zones.
The ban previously only included sidewalks along 16 major streets.
Mayor Tim Bates, himself a former smoker, said enforcement is complaint driven
"Certainly it's in peoples' best interest not to have a smoker around them. So we hope that we can convince people that it's the right thing to do," Bates explained.
Violators will be fined $100 for a first offense, and as much as $500 after multiple offenses.
