Reply to comment by Some-Imagination9782 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 state regularly offers free nicotine replacement stuff. Its all OTC and pretty cheap compared to a pack of smokes or vape anyway.

I think we kind of hit critical mass on smokers where no matter what happens won't change their mind. I always knew it was bad, price and social stigma is what got me to quit, but some folks are more stubborn.

As much as i don't think its a good thing to promote or normalize vaping, and still think there are unanswered questions and other risks with that, i'd like to think we can find a quiet way to get these folks to switch just from a trash and second hand perspective.
