Group Pushes for Smoke-Free Boulder City
A group of people in Boulder City want to make the city smoke free.
The group has gone before the city council asking for an ordinance to uphold the state ban on smoking and to remove most of the exemptions.
“They came to us as council members asking us to take another step forward from where state law is. State law does quite a bit but there are a lot of exemptions for resort hotels and where food is prepared. They want to really take what was in state law and not have those exemptions,” Boulder City Councilman Cam Walker said.
Garth Schulz and his wife are leading the charge. They have three kids, and say they want their children to breathe air free of smoke. The group has taken out advertisements in the Boulder City Review asking for support for a smoke-free city.
