Huntington, N.Y. To Begin Consideration of Beach Smoking Ban
The Huntington Town Council has announced plans to look into a potential smoking ban for its eight beaches, as Councilman Mark Cuthbertson is sponsoring a resolution that was to be introduced at Tuesday night’s meeting, with a public hearing to be scheduled for the coming weeks.
While a formal announcement for the public hearing has not been made, Huntington town spokesman A.J. Carter told Newsday that it would likely be held during the August 19 town board meeting.
As it stands now, the ban would prevent people from using tobacco products on the beach proper, but would allow smoking in parking lots, in effect creating designated smoking areas. Details such as fines, enforcement procedures and when the ordinance would go into effect have not yet been announced.
Huntington is home to more than 200,000 residents in northwestern Suffolk County on Long Island.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
