This week the Mayor and City Council continued discussion to restrict smoking to designated areas on the beach and adjacent to the Boardwalk.
City Manager David Recor recalled the former Mayor and City Council last discussed the issue in April and voted 5-2 to restrict smoking on the beach and Boardwalk effective May 1, 2015. At that time, the council directed staff to prepare an implementation plan and prepare for further discussion prior to September 2014.
Following the discussion, an internal Smoking Policy Committee was formed comprised of a number of town departments who were tasked to devise a plan of action, develop enforcement criteria and prepare draft legislation.

No more weekly rentals. No smoking. No money.
P word politicians!
idiots can enforce littering laws... second hand smoke is not an issue outside... keep cheering
I wonder if Transportation employees are exempt from the smoking ban in OC? There are employees (and managers) that smoke "in public" on a regular basis. I ran across a driver last Summer (shaved head, beard, and lots of tattoos on his legs) who stood at the bus door puffing away as passenger boarded downtown.
Maybe the ban thinking only applies to visitors?
This type of smoking ban, you know., the ones outside in the open air, show only one thing. That these people are not truly interested in the second hand smoke issue., not at all. They are interested in usurping your rights. Control and conditioning is the ONLY thing on the agenda.
