In an effort to “take back Town Square,” Anchorage, Alaska Assemblyman Dick Traini is proposing a smoking ban in the city’s core, as well as a ban on vaping and increased enforcement of the use of illegal drugs. Should the ban get the assembly’s approval, the city’s summer bicycle police force and full-time police officers will be tasked with enforcing the ban and issuing warnings for first time violators followed by $50 fines for repeat offenders, according to KTUU.com. Anchorage is Alaska’s most populous city with nearly 301,000 residents.
