Mayor Brandon Scott signed a new bill on Wednesday that bans all tobacco and nicotine products in city stadiums. Although Orioles and Ravens games were already smoke-free, now all tobacco and nicotine products are banned inside the stadium gates.
Mayor Scott says it’s a proactive measure to reduce exposure to tobacco products.
“As a city, we have a responsibility to prioritize the health and well-being of our residents and those visiting to watch the Orioles beat the Yankees and the Ravens beat the Steelers.”
A violation of this new tobacco and nicotine ban at city stadiums could result in a fine up to $500.
