outdoor smoking bans

New Jersey has moved a step closer to snuffing out smoking at its parks and beaches.

One Assembly committee wants to ban smoking in popular outdoor locales. In Vineland, there’s a proposal being floated that would ban smoking outside all municipal owned properties. Sure makes the prospect of giving up the habit a better alternative with each approaching day...

I don’t understand all these outdoor smoking bans towns either have enacted or are proposing to enact. All in the interest of fostering good health. I really don’t think we need government to protect us from smokers and smoking in general; yet I’ve always felt it somewhat duplicitous that government wants to limit where you can smoke, but still profits from the sale of cigarettes...
