Smoking at public beaches, parks could be banned under newly filed bill

With its beautiful water and sand, it is easy to understand see why Kelly Nagel and her family love making the trip from north Georgia to Fernandina Beach.

“It’s actually our favorite beach,” Nagel said. “We love Fernandina Beach, it’s one of the ones we come to move often.”

The Nagels aren’t the only ones. Every day, people walk up and down the beach. Some puff cigarettes, but under SB 334, smoking on public beaches and public parks could soon become a thing of the past.
