Salina Tightens Indoor Smoking Ban Across Most Buildings
Salina city commissioners approved a strengthened smoking ban by a 3-2 vote, banning smoking in nearly all indoor spaces except private homes. The 2002 rule allowed smokers to light up in some restaurants 9 PM to 5 AM or in outdoor dining areas, and the new ordinance aligns Salina with Manhattan Lawrence and Garden City. Mayor John Vanier opposed, saying it infringes on business owners’ rights, and opponents may petition for a repeal on the April ballot.
