Default Moving Ashtrays Away From Entrance of Squares.

They have all the ashtrays at the entrances at the square where smokers congregate and all the smoke blows onto the square. Yuck!
No smoking within 500 feet of square is more appropriate, many commercial buildings and hospitals have this policy and hopefully TV will implement this.

A ban at the restaurants would be nice. Ever walk by the patio of City Fire ?

500 feet is a bit much. Most rules and laws for commercial buildings prohibit smoking within 25 feet of the building entrance. Even Federal buildings have the same 25 foot rule. Although, some hospital complexes do not allow any smoking on their property at all, even outside the buildings.

Interesting first post and user name.

I would normally say welcome to TOTV for a first post, but not this one.

Welcome to TOTV. Be prepared for the "less friendly" responses. They will likely be the smokers.

Always like the sign at a retail business on NON-smoking:

"If you come in here smoking, you better be on fire."

It would prohibit smoking from dozens of businesses located near the squares, some of which are not even on the square.

Personally, I don't see that as a bad thing. 😤

I have never smoked, and I wouldn't have an issue with any smoking ban. I was just stating a fact. And, the statement that many commercial buildings have a 500 foot smoking ban policy is not accurate.

From the age of 12, until I was 46, I put as much nicotine down my throat as I could manage.
Since stopping, I cannot stand the smell, and avoid any area where it is permitted.
Nothing as fanatical as a born again non-smoker!

I can usually tolerate cigarette smoke, except when I am eating. But, I think that anyone who smokes a cigar in public is just being inconsiderate and rude.
