Full Breakdown
Logan Municipal Code § 9.12.175 covers outdoor smoking on city-owned property and near gatherings. Subsection (B) prohibits smoking in city parks, within twenty five feet (25') of bus stops, and within fifty feet (50') of mass gatherings.
The definitions in subsection (A) set the reach. CITY PARK means and includes city owned parks and recreational areas, including city owned spectator and concession areas, playgrounds, public squares, cemeteries, athletic fields, zoos and walking and biking trails, excluding city owned golf courses. MASS GATHERING is an outdoor assembly of fifty (50) or more people on city owned property that reasonably can be expected to continue for at least one hour. SMOKE OR SMOKING includes possession, carrying, or holding a lighted pipe, cigar, e-cigarette, or cigarette of any kind, or any other lighted smoking equipment, or the lighting, emitting, or exhaling of smoke of a pipe, cigar, or cigarette of any kind. The separate E-CIGARETTE definition covers electronic oral devices that provide a vapor of nicotine or other substance and simulate smoking.
Subsection (C) makes the restrictions subject to any applicable state or federal exemptions. Subsection (D) requires "no smoking" signs or the international "no smoking" symbol, a burning cigarette in a red circle with a red bar across it, to be clearly and conspicuously posted in every city park.
Indoor places fall under a different section. Section 9.12.170 prohibits smoking in a public place or at a public meeting except in designated smoking areas, and defines public place as an enclosed, indoor area used by the general public or serving as a place of work. The outdoor ban in § 9.12.175 is the rule for parks, trails, cemeteries and the buffer zones around bus stops and mass gatherings.
Violations & Fines
A violation of § 9.12.175 is an infraction punishable by a fine not to exceed twenty five dollars ($25.00) but not by imprisonment. Police officers have the discretion to issue a "warning" if they deem it is in the best interests of the city for the first offense. By comparison, § 9.12.170(I) makes a violation of the indoor public place rule in subsections A and B an infraction with a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
