“The Saginaw City Council adopted two ordinance changes on Monday, Aug. 24. The second ordinance focuses on the consumption of tobacco products as well as marijuana products and sets the groundwork for regulations in city parks. The ordinance reads, “For purposes of this section, smoke or smoking means possessing a cigarette, e-cigarette, cigar, hookah, or pipe that contains tobacco, marijuana, or any other product that is lit or burning; lighting a cigarette, e-cigarette, cigar, hookah, or pipe that contains tobacco or any other product; or exhaling smoke from burning tobacco or any other burning product that is contained in a hookah, pipe, cigar, cigarette and/or e-cigarette.” According to the ordinance, no individual is allowed to engage in any of the aforementioned activities and smoking in any city park, including, any playground, tennis court, community center or outdoor athletic complex owned by Saginaw. Violating the ordinance could result in a fine of $50, according to the ordinance, and community service may be ordered in lieu of a fine.”
