Impact analysis
Taxpayers could foot the bill for new signs and enforcement, but the source doesn't put a dollar figure on it yet.
Beachgoers who hate secondhand smoke—and families, wildlife, and cleanup crews—would catch a break.
Smokers who want to puff on the sand would lose that option, and beachside tobacco sellers could feel a small pinch.
