Reply to comment by yankeeblue42 in New Jersey already bans smoking in parks and on beaches, but it could soon extend that prohibition to a slew of other public spaces: Assemblywoman Murphy reintroduced a measure that would expand the smoking ban to boardwalks, race tracks, amusement parks, historic sites, and burial sites by rollotomasi07071

That doesn’t track. How many people smoke in their cars and throw the cigarette out the window? Since they’re a smoker in their own vehicle, wouldn’t they know to have a trash bin in their car?

My late grandmother lived a mile from a traffic light. People would light up at the red and when they got to her place, throw the butt out the window. The first 8 feet of her lawn was nothing but cigarette butts. They were nearly impossible to get out of the grass.
