Other: Just curious if any State/County/City agency or legislative body bans smoking outdoors in public parks by statute/ordinance/regulation. Specifically, there is a cigar-smoker (loud, older, possibly un-housed) who often sits on a bench near the NW corner of People's Park about 11am and smokes a cigar that can be smelled by anyone who walks through the park and even across the street at the bagel shop. Just wondering if he could be asked to smoke where other people are not forced to smell it.

Smoking in parks is prohibited, and staff members will notify park users when present/possible to ask them to stop. However, we don't always have staff around to have those conversations. We will remind our security staff to have these conversations when issues are seen. You can also call the Parks office during open hours if you are experiencing an issue.
