                     We congratulate the City of Madera and City of Chowchilla for adopting a smoke-free parks ordinance and updating their smoking regulations to include electronic smoking devices (e.g., e-cigarettes, vapes). These new ordinances will help promote healthier lifestyles and welcoming environments for residents to enjoy.
