Smoking and vaping could soon be banned at public parks throughout Garden Grove.
[Read: Neighboring OC Cities Look to Private Security to Patrol Parks]Last week, Garden Grove City Council members voted 5-0-1 to have staff draft up an ordinance to be considered down the road.
Councilwoman Yesenia Muneton, who spearheaded the proposal, said the ban applies to all tobacco and marijuana products – including nicotine vape pens – at city parks and the parking lots.
Councilwoman Ariana Arestegui said Garden Grove currently has an F rating on the American Lung Association’s annual report card.
“That’s tabulated in a manner that looks at our policies regarding smoking in indoor spaces and outdoor spaces … and our rules regarding tobacco selling establishments,” Arestegui said.
