From watching the viral frustration of Hallie Batchelder’s addiction, FACTZ decided to do some recon to help her understand the severity of her actions if she smokes on Nantucket:
Any person(s) in charge of a public place or workplace, including municipal entities, who fails to comply with Nantucket smoke-free regulations shall be subject to the following actions for each offense:
- A warning shall be issued for a first offense. A fine of up to $100 may be issued for a second offense, up to $200 for a third offense, up to $300 for a fourth offense, and up to $300 for any subsequent offense; and
- Following the second offense, the Board of Health may, after a public hearing, suspend any license for that public place for a period of up to two days for each day of noncompliance or withhold renewal of the license. Following a third offense, the Board of Health may suspend an existing permit/license for a period of time determined by the Board of Health until compliance is achieved.
Long story short- if you see Hallie Batchelder trying to buy a pack of cigs, please block on sales.
