If you’re a smoker South Bethany Beach is considering banning the habit from its beaches and their walkways.
Council member Frank Weisgerber has sponsored a measure and noted that the town is the last coastal resort to still allow smoking on the shore.
He told WBOC that when Ocean City put the ban into effect including their boardwalks it was time to act.
A survey that was sent out to the town’s homeowners came back with a 72 percent approval of the ban.
The first reading for the ordnance is set to take place at Friday’s council meeting.
If approved it could come up for a final vote as early as April.
