Kokomo's full smoking ban is in effect. It now includes private bars and clubs.
The partial Kokomo smoking ban allowed 21 and over bars and restaurants the option of allowing smoking.
Mayor Greg Goodnight says the new smoking ordinance is a comprehensive ban that includes private clubs, city parks and festivals.
"It's changing their business model to adapt to that and the ones that will, I think will be fine," Goodnight says. "And the ones that won't may be a little slower to reap the benefits."
City leaders denied the controversial expanded smoking ban in 2014 before approving it March of this year.
