Hoodline
Dallas has expanded its smoking ban to include vaping indoors and near buildings, aligning with other major Texas cities.Summary
The City of Dallas has implemented a new ordinance that prohibits vaping in indoor spaces, within 15 feet of building entrances, and on park properties. This change effectively integrates electronic smoking devices into the existing smoking ban, following a one-year grace period for businesses and individuals to prepare. City officials, including Assistant City Manager Liz Cedillo-Pereira, emphasize that this move aligns Dallas with other large Texas cities in protecting public health by reducing exposure to potentially harmful vapor emissions. The ordinance doesn't introduce new restricted areas, aiming for a smooth transition for residents and business owners.
