TRENTON – Three years after New Jerseyans were banned from smoking indoors, a top state lawmaker (Sen. Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex)), wants to keep them from lighting up in many outdoor spots as well.

Smoking would be prohibited on beaches and in public parks under a proposal that could be taken up by year’s end.

“It’s moved beyond a nuisance to a health hazard,” said Sen. Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex), who plans to introduce a bill when the Legislature returns, likely in November.
