Seaside Heights and Smoking about the Beach

Seaside Heights, New Jersey is rather run of the mill when it comes to summer beach destinations. It's busy during the warm months, along with the town survives for the summer tourist dollars, so that it offers lots of things you would expect of your summer resort town. Hotels, nice beaches or a large commercial boardwalk with things like food stands, amusement rides and arcades. Seaside Heights also took one more step that will assist keep it in accordance with other beach destinations - they recently restricted smoking about the beach. However, the location restrictions usually are not as strict as various other places where ban smoking around the entire beach. In Seaside you are able to smoke around the first twenty feet of sand which is next to the boardwalk.

Smoking has long since fallen beyond favor as a thing that is regarded as cool or acceptable. Every smoker is aware that restrictions are becoming a lot more strict within the last decade. Non-smokers are somewhat aware of modifications but not as much as someone who should regularly smoke. And so the average non-smoker may well not notice if smoking is fixed or otherwise on the beach they simply visit while on an infrequent basis. Beaches in many places happen to be a bit slow to consider no smoking policies but there is plenty of variation on your travels. Even within Nj.

Belmar, New Jersey includes a somewhat similar policy to Seaside Heights in that they allow smoking in designated zones about the beach. They're limited in space at the rear of the beach. What's more, it has similar you-can-smoke-here zones on their own boardwalk. Belmar was at the forefront of minimizing smoking around the beach, because they were the first beach in the usa to limit smoking.

Bradley Beach, New Jersey has had a much more restrictive approach. Their plan is to ban south beach smoke, the boardwalk and in many cases around the sidewalk which is adjacent to the boardwalk. Bradley Beach's ban is just not scheduled to take effect until 2010, provided the ordinance passes the town council.

I believe an advanced smoker and such as the beach, the handwriting is on the wall. It would seem an outside venue, complete with a sea breeze, couldn't survive an area where smoking needs to be restricted. The problem though lies not from the second hand smoke but in the garbage left behind by smokers discarding their spent cigarette butts. The filters do not break up adequately which is challenging for beach cleaning equipment to simply clear them. Expect more smoking bans on other Nj beaches as time goes on. All in the name of public safety needless to say.
