“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,” she said.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is telling New Yorkers to keep their butts outta state parks and beaches after signing a new smoking ban into law Friday.
Smoking is already banned at New York City parks and beaches but not those operated by the state like Jones Beach on Long Island, Roberto Clemente State Park in The Bronx and Shirley Chisholm State Park off Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn. “Basically what we tried to do is replicate what we have in New York City on smoking bans and apply it to the state,” Dinowitz told The Post.
Those looking for a fix can still light up on sidewalks, parking lots, roadways and performers as part of “theatrical productions,”“Our parks also shouldn’t be tainted by non-biodegradable cigarette butts scattered throughout their grounds,” Stavisky said in the press release.
