Intro:

Smoking in public places in the city of El Lago is no longer legal.

El Lago joins the majority of Bay Area cities which ban smoking in public places after Council approved a no-smoking ordinance Monday night.

The ordinance, passed unanimously, specifies that smoking is banned in restaurants, public facilities, bars, and covered public areas.

Restaurant outdoor seating areas also are exempt from the ban, she said.
