The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a ban on smoking in county-owned bus shelters.
Fairfax County Police will be responsible for enforcing the ban and no smoking signs will be placed in the shelters. Violators could be fined $25.
The Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act requires state agencies to consider no-smoking areas in any building they own or lease. The rule does not require smokers to stand a minimum distance from the shelters.
