The Great New York State Fair has announced it will ban open outdoor smoking at the fair in 2022.
Fair Director Troy Waffner says smoking will be allowed only at small, designated locations. Smoking is already banned inside the fairgrounds buildings and at concert venues. The new smoking policy covers only the fair itself. Smoking policy for other events at the fairgrounds is up to the event organizers.
The Great New York State Fair will run August 24th through September 5th.
