In Tualatin, it will be uncool to smoke in the parks, starting in February. The Parks and Rec Directors have unanimously approved a smoking ban.

Kari Bray reports for The Oregonian:  the ban will prohibit “inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying any lighted or heated tobacco or other non-tobacco legal/illegal smoking substance” on or in district properties, according to the text of the ordinance.

“The District Board believes smoking interferes and is inconsistent with and detrimental to the appropriate use of District’s buildings, grounds and facilities by the District’s patrons, visitors and staff,” according to the ordinance.
