Hochul signed legislation Friday prohibiting smoking on all state-owned beaches, boardwalks, marinas, playgrounds, recreation centers, and group camps.
"Smoking is a dangerous habit that affects not only the smoker but everyone around them, including families and children enjoying our state's great public places," Hochul said."I'm proud to sign this legislation that will protect New Yorker's health and help reduce litter in public parks and beaches across the state."
This additional step will enforce a statewide prohibition and includes a fine that will be collected by localities. Supporters say the prohibition will keep parks and beaches cleaner and safer, along with protecting local ecosystems.
