Reply to comment by Linenoise77 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
Do you think kids still don't do that? It's not really cigarettes anymore, but they still go to these places to smoke/vape nicotine and marijuana since they are usually out of sight and away from the adults responsible for them.

Newark is what would technically be known as a satellite city to NYC, but historically was actually the major city in the area for a long time before urban decline and white flight took hold during the 1900s.
I used to live in a suburb of Newark, and would frequently spend time going into/through Newark. It's an honestly amazing city, with a lot going for it now especially as it has had renewed interest for redevelopment. There are several good museums and venues in the area, good food all over the place, and tons of transit options as the main transit hub of NJ.
The city still has problems, but they are a shadow of what they used to be, and it is only improving with time as more redevelopment occurs. Just do your research on neighborhoods to see if they are a place you'd want to live.
