Frequently Asked Questions

Does Davie's park smoking ban cover vaping?
Yes. Sec. 16-7 defines smoking apparatus to include electronic vaporizers, so e-cigarettes and vape pens are banned in undesignated outdoor park areas the same as traditional smoking.
Can a Davie park allow smoking anywhere?
Only in areas the park posts with signage reading 'smoking is permitted in this area'; every other outdoor area of a town-owned park is off-limits under Sec. 16-7.
