Cigars now the target of smoking ban in clubs  

Members of the city Board of Health has dropped their consideration of banning smoking in private clubs and instead have decided to seek a ban on cigar and so-called hookah bars in the Mill City.

The board came to that conclusion during its meeting last Wednesday, during which city lawyers were asked to decide whether the move to ban smoking in establishments that cater to smokers of cigars and hookahs -- glass water pipes that may be used to smoke flavored tobaccos -- would require a public hearing.

Lowell currently has no cigar or hookah bars.
