Beach bums might have to put their butts out in Jersey.

A bill that would ban smoking and vaping on the New Jersey’s public beaches is making its way through the state’s Senate.

A five-person panel of state lawmakers on Thursday unanimously voted to approve the piece of legislation, which would revise and expand upon the 2006 “New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act.”

The bill cites the dangers of tobacco and how the ban on smoking at public beaches would “better preserve and maintain the natural assets of this State by reducing litter and increasing fire safety in those areas, while lessening exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and providing for a more pleasant beach experience for the public.”

If the bill becomes law, first offense violators could be fined $250. The second offense fine would carry a charge of $500 and it would be $1,000 for each subsequent offense.

“New Jersey’s beaches are used and enjoyed by millions of people as a prime attraction of the state’s tourism industry,” New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a sponsor of the bill, said, according to NJ.com.

“Beachgoers should not be assaulted by second-hand cigarette smoke and the sand and water should not be littered with cigarette butts.”

The bill is expected to go before the full Senate for a vote later this month.
