Earlier this week, after Mayor John Street signed the long-awaited smoking ban, The Daily Pennsylvanian expressed worry because "the bill will have no teeth until the administration begins enforcing it."
Well, worry no longer.
The Philadelphia Daily News reported this weekend that the city will begin to enforce the ban immediately.
Citizens can now call (215) 685-7495 to report smoking violations, and city officials are planning to distribute ban-related information around the city.
