Just wondering how the community treats this subject.
I just moved from a small town that had recently passed a city ordinance that "technically" you could get a ticket for smoking a cigarette INSIDE of your vehicle or even for smoking in your own front yard/front porch i.e. if you were sitting in your vehicle within 20 feet of the door/entrance of a business (restaurant, auto parts store, conveinience store,) a cop COULD give you a ticket for smoking, likewise, if you were to be smoking a cigarette on the lawn in your front yard or sitting on your own front porch and were within 20 feet of the sidewalk (public property) and there were 2 or more people "congregating" there, AND could SMELL your cigarette smoke, again, technically a cop COULD give you a ticket for this too. Now, the local cops and sheriff's dept said they would NOT enforce this, that they had much more important things to do than enforce this silly code, and since it was a city code ordinance, that the city code enforcement office (the guy that comes to your house if your grass grows to high and tells you to mow your lawn or get a ticket) was the entity that should be enforcing this ordinance. So, anyways whats your "choice"?
NOTE: I did do a search for this to see if it had been done already and could not find an instance, but, If I missed something and this was already done, sorry for the repeat.
