The Law Explained

During the tuberculosis outbreaks of the early 20th century, spitting was recognized as a major public health hazard. Charlotte, like many growing cities, criminalized the act to stop the spread of respiratory diseases. Though rarely enforced now, the health ordinance remains a polite reminder to use a tissue.
