Lawmaker: Block smoking at state park beaches

John Nutting, D-Leeds, wants to prohibit smoking forward beaches in Maine's state parks.

Some of my constituents called me, saying they're tired of not life span able to put their offspring down along the beach because they crawl on along with put cigarette butts in their mouths," Nutting said. Conjointly, at some of the big beaches forward the coast, people are packed in as tightly as if you were sitting in an auditorium, though you may hardly smoke away. Why should you go sit forth a beach if three feet away someone is smoking a cigar?"

Beaches at Reid State Park and Popham Beach State Park are remarkably crowded during the summer months, Nutting said. I would say that a summer weekend at Reid State Park is probably the peak arrondissement in the whole state for people to be subjected to secondhand smoke," he said.
