Starting Friday, local governments in Florida can ban smoking on beaches and parks.
More than 28,000 cigarette butts were collected Saturday during the Beaches Go Green cleanup.
If you’re caught lighting up on the beach or in a park, it will cost you a $75 fine. Beachgoers like Sarah Soto are on board. But others disagree. Sheila Schultz is visiting from Minnesota and said banning smoking on beaches and parks is overreach.When News4jax reporter Ashley Harding asked if cigarette smoke bothers her when she’s spending time at the beach, Schultz replied, “It does not, I don’t smell it at all.”Ocean Conservancy’s most recent data show up to 2.4 million cigarette butts were collected from beaches worldwide.
