E-cigs could be banned from public parks in Kannapolis

KANNAPOLIS, NC (AP) — E-cigarettes could be banned from public parks in Kannapolis.

The Independent Tribune of Kannapolis reports (http://bit.ly/1Xp9K34 ) that city council will consider the ban at its Monday meeting.

The city already prohibits smoking from public parks. Council members will discuss whether to revise the ordinance to include e-cigarettes and other electronic smoking devices, such as vape pens.

The meeting’s agenda packet says the change would “create a healthier atmosphere.”
