The City Council finds that the smoking of tobacco, or any other weed, plant or substance is a positive danger to health and a material annoyance, inconvenience, discomfort and a possible health hazard to those who are present in confined spaces, and in order to serve public health, safety and welfare, the declared purpose of this chapter is to prohibit the smoking of tobacco, or any other weed, plant or substance in public places and places of employment as stated and required in this chapter.
The City Council further finds that prohibiting the use of electronic cigarettes in locations where smoking is prohibited at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim Stadium, the Honda Center, and other City-owned buildings will protect the health of the citizens of the City of Anaheim, facilitate enforcement of the smoking prohibition of this chapter, and protect youth from observing behaviors that could encourage them to smoke tobacco products.
