Davis bans smoking in outdoor areas

FARMINGTON — Davis County thanks you for not smoking indoors, but come January, it will thank you for refraining from smoking outside in public places, too.

The Davis County Board of Health on Tuesday unanimously enacted a regulation that bans smoking at publicly or privately owned parks, playgrounds, sports fields, amusement parks, swimming pools, boweries, concession stands, public gardens, cemeteries, walking or running trails, skate parks and most parts of golf courses. Smoking will still be allowed on golf fairways.
