Municipal workers in Houston, Miss., can smoke, just not in city-owned vehicles. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the new city policy - which applies to cigarettes, cigars and pipes as well as chewing tobacco - was adopted by the board of aldermen in August.
Employees who violate the ban will be reprimanded and those who violate it three times can be terminated, according to the policy. The city has had a "no-smoking" policy in city buildings - for the public and employees - for several years. Officials say the policy is for public health reasons, safety reasons and a desire by the city to endorse a healthy lifestyle in the community.
