CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Health Department will conduct an inspection of the Reds' clubhouse after at least five people called a state hotline, complaining that when Reds players lighted up celebratory cigars after they clinched the NL Central it violated Ohio's smoking ban.

Department spokesman Rocky Merz said Friday that state law requires such an inspection.

He says the department realizes "everyone was celebrating" the victory and wishes the Reds well.
