Banning smoking of all kinds (including e-cigarettes) in our parks, beaches, boardwalk, and Kennedy Plaza will allow residents and visitors of all ages to breathe in clean sea air while enjoying the outdoor activities that make Long Beach so special. Exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke causes disease, disability, and death.  Banning smoking means less garbage in our beautiful Long Beach sand and more revenue potential for the city.  Nassau County, Town of Hempstead, and New York City have smoke-free beaches and parks.  Let's join our neighbors!  Let's tell the City Manager and City Council we want smoke-free parks!
