OK I have a solution, to fix the whole smoking in public thing… Just create enclosed areas like in the Seoul international airport where people are permitted to smoke cigarettes indoors!

In Culver City, smoking on sidewalks is restricted in areas near outdoor spaces where smoking is banned, such as within a certain distance from entrances, outdoor dining areas, parks, and recreational spaces. The city code specifically prohibits smoking in outdoor dining areas, parks, and around city facilities like City Hall courtyard and Town Plaza, as well as within designated “no smoking” zones to protect public health. These rules also extend to e-cigarettes and vaping, which are banned in the same outdoor areas to minimize exposure to secondhand aerosol and smoke.

While general sidewalks without these adjacent facilities may not explicitly fall under the smoking prohibition, Culver City’s policies aim to restrict public smoking broadly, particularly in high-traffic or communal areas. For further specifics on compliance or reporting violations, you can reference Culver City’s municipal code or contact city enforcement for detailed guidelines.
