Starting tomorrow, November 1st, smoking in public places in the City of Florence will be prohibited.

Private designated smoking areas are excluded from the ordinance including open air areas like patios and decks. Someone smoking in a public area could be fined up to $25. SCNow.com has more details including how some restaurant owners have seen increased business since going smoke free. Inhale all the details here.
