Ann Arbor may long be known as a liberal town.
But that's not the case if you're a smoker.
Matthew Jackonen of the Michigan Daily writes that the Ann Arbor City Council passed the long-debated smoking ordinance Monday night to ban smoking within 10 feet of a bus stop and within 20 feet of city buildings. The violations will be civil infraction.
The vote was 9-2.
The ordinance also prohibits smoking in certain areas of Ann Arbor parks at the discretion of the city administrator, the paper reported.
