The ban would also be enforced at enclosed areas at convention facilities,

service lines, shopping malls, sports arenas, polling places and "facilities

primarily used for exhibiting a motion picture, stage, drama, lecture,

musical recital or other similar performance."

The ban would also include all enclosed areas maintained by the city,

according to the proposed ordinance.

Specifically exempted from the ban under the proposed ordinance are

private homes (except when used as a licensed child care, adult day care

or health care facility), hotel and motel rooms designated as smoking

rooms, retail tobacco stores, special smoking rooms in nursing homes

and long-term care facilities and outdoor areas of employment.

The proposed ordinance would also ban smoking within 25 feet of an enclosed

area where smoking is prohibited "so as to insure that tobacco smoke

does not enter the area through entrances, windows, ventilation systems

or other means."

Kathie Cheney, a Peachtree City resident who has crusaded for laws to

create smoke-free environments for the public, will likely be a member

of the committee, but no others have yet been chosen to serve on the

committee, said city public information officer Betsy Tyler. It is likely

that committee members will be selected from those who attend next week's

meeting, Tyler added.

The proposed ordinance is available for download from the city's

web site, www.peachtree-city.org.
