Smoking Could Be Banned in Spring Hill Parks

Let's really improve the parks and ban the out of control screaming children and their oblivious parents. Oh and let us not forget the unsightly fat pigs stuffing their faces and walking around with bellies, and everything else, hanging out.

Can't stand a little smoke? Well some of us have a few other things that we find offensive, so let's be fair to all.

Spring Hill passes park smoking ban

However, Hudson amended the language of the ordinance to say smoking is not allowed specifically in city parks where the general public gathers to exercise, participate in athletics, or watch sporting or other events.

This language was adopted from Tennessee state law, which includes a ban on smoking in sports arenas, and according to the city’s definition of a sports arena it would include its city parks where sports are played, said City Attorney Tim Underwood.
