The purpose of the following policy is to prohibit smoking at
Town of Conway Recreation Department properties.
[Amended 4-11-2017 ATM by Art. 29]
To ensure the safety and well being of its constituents, the
Town of Conway is committed to providing athletic skill building,
fun and creative recreational activities in a tobacco-free environment.
Tobacco is extremely unhealthy and addictive. It contributes to, or
is a direct cause of, serious illness and fatal disease. Passive smoke
is also unhealthy and categorized as a carcinogen that can contribute
to serious illness for the nonsmoker. Furthermore, New Hampshire law,
RSA 126-K:4, states that no person under 18 years of age shall purchase,
use, or possess tobacco products; and New Hampshire law RSA 169-B:32
permits a juvenile age 12 or older, who is in possession of tobacco
products, to be treated as an adult and given a District Court summons.
