Fultondale Passes Strongest Smoking Law

The Fultondale City Council passed a new smoking cigarettes ordinance for the city at its regular meeting on Monday, and anti-smoking cigarettes advocates say it is the “strongest” of any ordinance in the county.

The ordinance prohibits “smoking cigarettes in public places, all workplaces and providing penalties for the violation thereof.” Some of the reasons for the law, outlined in the ordinance itself, are reduction in indoor air pollution and decreasing secondhand smoke.

The ordinance, which goes into effect Sept. 1, prohibits smoking cigarettes in almost any enclosed area where the general public can gather (except for private residences that don’t double as care facilities), even if it’s private property. Smoking is even banned in public areas in multiple-unit residences like apartment buildings and trailer parks, and in “enclosed residential facilities” such as nursing home rooms and motel and hotel rooms rented to guests.

The law also specifically forbids smoking cigarettes in “private clubs.” The American Legion building falls under that category. Bill Steber, commander of the American Legion in Fultondale, said membership for the organization is exclusive to people over 21 years of age. He asked to council to consider that it was a private organization, and to make an exception in the law for it.

Lowery said the ordinance has been delayed for some time because he was anticipating a state law that never came. A bill that would have banned smoking cigarettes in all public places across the state never got past the state House Health Committee during the last legislative session.

Owners of property can now declare the entire establishment a “non-smoking cigarettes place,” which supersedes the ordinance’s existing restrictions.

Other people besides Steber spoke against the law at the meeting, as well.

Owners and operators of public places or places of employment (including vehicles, such as food trucks) that fall under the smoking cigarettes ban must post obvious “no smoking cigarettes” signs and remove ashtrays.

To enforce the law, business owners, employees, or any kind of authority figure related to the venue at which a smoking cigarettes violation is taking place is required to ask the smoker to extinguish whatever product he or she is smoking cigarettes. If the smoker doesn’t comply, then service must be refused and he or she must immediately be asked to leave the premises. If the smoker still won’t comply with the ordinance, then law enforcement must be contacted.

The general public will be fined no more than $50 for an infraction of the ordinance. Any person who owns, manages, operates or otherwise controls a public place or place of employment who breaks the law will be fined no more than $100 for the first infraction, $200 for the second within a year, and $500 for each additional infraction within a year. Violations can also result in suspension or revocation of business licenses.
