Williamstown to Apartment Dwellers: Don't Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Town meeting Thursday decided to implement a ban on smoking or vaping tobacco products in apartments with more than four units and to limit the number of days in a year that home can be rented as an "Airbnb."
 
As expected, those were two of the issues that generated discussion in a 2 1/2-hour meeting in the Mount Greylock Regional School gymnasium.
 
But, in the end, the votes were not particularly close in either case.
 
The smoking ban, which had the support of the town's Board of Health and Select Board, passed on a vote of 148-56.
 
The town clerk reported that 308 of the town's 4,677 registered voters, 6.6 percent, checked in to the meeting.
 
The short-term rental zoning bylaw regulation generated by the Planning Board, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, passed by a vote of 219-25.
 
William Raymond, who drafted the smoking ban and submitted it to the meeting by citizens petition, presented the article, No. 30 on a 32-article warrant.
