A senior project for two high school students in Fortuna, Calif. could turn into a smoking ban for the city if the city council decides to follow up on their proposal. Melanie Luster and Ariel Card addressed the council on Monday afternoon as part of a scheduled presentation and proposed the idea of banning smoking in the city’s parks as well as in front of businesses. The city currently does not have any anti-smoking ordinances, and the council has not expressed whether or not it intends to pursue the idea. Fortuna is located in Humboldt County, approximately 250 miles north of San Francisco. It has an estimated population of just under 12,000 people.
