Reply to NJ Cat owners by biiillyyyyyy

I use the small bathroom trash bags. I know some people also will put regular garbage bags inside one of those plastic litter containers and scoop into there but I don’t care for having an untied bag even with the lid closed because I just have the one cat so it would take forever to fill it and I feel like it smells more.

Morristown might be similar to what you’re looking for. It’s a bit smaller than Montclair but very walkable, nice selection of food, shopping, and entertainment, and feels very safe for me (an anxious young woman) walking alone at night. It’s about 45 minute drive to NYC as well. Not sure exactly what the rent cost situation looks like though I haven’t looked there in a while. Although I’m pretty sure you could find something if you’re not looking for super big or fancy and are willing to go on the higher end of your budget.

Reply to North Jersey fall foliage views for disabled people? by Johnsonburnerr

Not a lookout point but waterloo village in Stanhope is lovely year round and one of my go to walking places as a disabled individual (however not a wheelchair user, although I think most of the park is accessible) it’s mostly flat and paved with plenty of places to stop and sit.

Reply to comment by symitwo 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

The fact that’s all you got from everything I said is very disappointing. And from every other comment you’ve made on here it seems like you just want to be angry about this, but not even consider other peoples feelings and opinions or any solutions. My whole point is I DONT subject anyone else to my smoke and have no desire to, just want to have places out of the way that are okay to smoke at without needing to go home every time.

I only just started using it this summer when I got my medical card so nothing. And I still haven’t smoked away from my home because the places I go have no smoking rules in place that I follow, but it would help my health tremendously if I was able to occasionally have a place I could go in those places and prevent me from dealing with needless terror and pain that I have to when I can’t use my most effective medication. I don’t think disabled people should be made to either stay in their homes or live in pain. I think there has to be a reasonable solution that allows people to use their medication and allows others to not be subjected to smoke if they don’t want to be. I’m not in disagreement at all about having no smoking areas just that a reasonable alternative spot should be available and you shouldn’t need to walk a mile to find a safe and legal place to smoke.

It’s been included in every smoking law so far so I’d think this is the same.

Unfortunately that’s not always the best solution. If I’m in the midst of a panic or PTSD attack I can’t always wait the 2 hours for an edible to kick in when smoking or vaping can reduce symptoms in minutes or seconds. I do think there needs to be regulation and common sense courtesy to others but it does really suck for people that are genuinely disabled and aren’t always conveniently at home when symptoms flare up.
