COURT HOUSE – New Jersey lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban smoking at all public beaches and parks in the state.
The bill is designed to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke at beaches and parks, cut down on litter and improve fire safety in those public areas. Smoking would still be allowed in parking lots near beaches and parks.
Violators would get fined $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second offense and $1,000 for subsequent ones.
