The L.A. City Council's Arts, Parks, Health and Aging committee voted Wednesday to ban smoking at farmers markets permitted by the city.
The full City Council is expected to make the ban law in the coming weeks.
"Most people who shop at farmers markets are there to improve their healthy choices, and it seems ironic that they would be breathing secondhand smoke," said Councilwoman Janice Hahn.
