Buda to limit smoking near municipal facilities

Striking up a smoke on or near Buda city property will soon be a thing of the past after city leaders June 5 nixed the practice.

The measure, approved by the a 6-0 Buda City Council decision, prohibits the use of tobacco and smoking within 30 feet of city facilities, in city vehicles and on city equipment. The ban does not apply to public spaces in Buda, unless a person is operating a city vehicle or using city equipment.
