NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A push to ban smoking in Nashville has passed through Metro Council.

The bill to ban smoking in 21 and up establishments passed its third reading at Tuesday's meeting.

The ban will go into effect in March 2023, and violators will face a $50 fine. It was amended during last week's meeting to exempt THC vapor bars.

As of September 30, more than 50 bars will go smoke-free in Music City with the new law in effect.
