BEACH HAVEN [NJ] - In light of the recent smoking restrictions on Seaside Heights' beaches, Commissioner Tony Deely said he still has hope it can happen here as well.

Deely proposed banning smoking on the beach at a Board of Commissioners meeting earlier this year.

"I threw it out there and nobody bit," he said.

Deely said a group of second-grade students at a local elementary school came up with the idea. But there has been no further discussion within the governing body about a possible ban, he said.
