WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – The New Hanover County Health and Human Services (NHC HHS) Board voted Tuesday to approve the revised drafted rule to ban smoking and e-cigarette use in public spaces throughout the county.
The revision came following a review of public comments and included language that clarified enforcement by municipalities. Another public comment period followed the amendment.
The Board of Commissioners must now vote on the rule for it to become effective in the county.
