ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The city of St. Petersburg is moving closer to banning smoking and vaping at all city parks and public beaches. The city council took up the issue for a second time on Thursday.  The organization Keep Pinellas Beautiful is in support of the ban. "Darn it. Isn't it a shame that we even have to consider a law for this because a cigarette butt is really very small and it's a shame that people don't think enough to put their waist where it belongs," Keep Pinellas Beautiful Executive Director Patricia DePlasco said.
