The Clarksdale City Board of Mayor and Commissioners has given the go-ahead to have a smoking ban drafted that could result in a ban on smoking in almost all public places within city limits. The Clarksdale Press Register reports that at its meeting on Monday, the board directed city attorney Curtis Boschert to begin drafting the proposal, which he said he anticipates having ready for the board at its next meeting on July 28. Clarksdale is the county seat of Coahoma County and has a population of just under 18,000 residents.
