In a victory for lungs in Delaware, the Bethany Beach Town Council recently made the seasonal ban on smoking on the boardwalk permanent. We get this report from a local TV station:
In a 4-3 vote Friday afternoon, the Bethany Beach Town Council passed an ordinance that bans smoking year-round on the boardwalk and access ramps to the beach.
The year-round ban supplanted the previous seasonal ban on smoking on the boardwalk, which had been in place from May 15-Sept. 15.
Of course smokers might miss wading through piles cigarette butts on the boardwalk but everyone else probably won’t.
