Reply to comment by BoomTownRat71 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

Well, you could say that about overweight people or people that don’t exercise or anyone who drives a car. Once you eliminate smokers people will be on to the next group until we are all just eating the same thing and taking no risks.

Data supports the cost related to smoking related illness. Obesity is a close second. It’s not about taking risks. It’s about the cost of that to society.
