Lautenberg Smoking Ban Evolves; Sidewalks, Beaches Now Off Limits

Lautenberg pioneered a smoking ban in planes in the '80s, and it ignited a movement. Now smoking bans are on fire, spreading to sidewalks, beaches, and parks. Starting this month, smoking is banned at playgrounds and sports events in all of Russia. Burlington County initiated a smokefree policy at its parks and trails. And, part of the downtown in Gangnam, South Korea now is off limits to smokers as are all of the sidewalks in a North Carolina county.
