The Aiken City Council voted to ban smoking inside the city's restaurants and other public places. It takes effect Tuesday.

However, customers will be able to smoke in designated smoking areas outside restaurants.

Many restaurants in the city of Aiken have a smoke free environment inside.

For the first six months there will not be a fine for smoking, but after that the fines range from $10-25.
