Maybe I am not around enough but have not really noticed much smoke. We always sit outside the square when listening to music. There should be designated areas though.

No smoking within 500 feet of square is more appropriate, many commercial buildings and hospitals have this policy and hopefully TV will implement this.
Not a big deal, for me anyway.

Smile Florida not NY

Fortunately TV is in Florida and NOT NY! Smoking is one of the the little freedoms that comes with bigger freedom

If you want the unedited opinions of other Villagers, this is a good place to post. If you want to change something in the Villages, posting here is not your best use of your time.

What did they say when you called the district office? Or did you - this site will not offer what your looking for.

I can’t say I have ever seen a group congregated by the ashtrays in any of the squares smoking non stop.
You are outside in the open space, so this sounds more like a whiner trying to infringe on others.
Mind your own business and live your life. Quit forcing your opinion on other peoples lifestyles.

I am not a smoker, but last I looked smoking was legal in this country.

Been to the Brownwood square for live music and farmers market several times and never noticed the smell of smoke. Including walking past the City Fire. Maybe some non-smokers don't detect as much as former ones?
