The Surgeon General of the United States has determined:
a.
Smoking has been casually linked to lung cancer, arteriosclerosis,
and coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
and other conditions that constitute a wide array of serious health
consequences.
b.
Smoking and smokeless tobacco use are "almost always initiated and
established in adolescence," typically by age sixteen (16).

Active smoking by young people is associated with significant health
problems during childhood and adolescence with increased risk factors
for health problems in adulthood. (Preventing Tobacco Use Among Young
People: A report of the Surgeon General, issued in 1994); and
The Borough of Woodland Park finds that it is the best interest
to discourage children from the temptations of experimenting with
cigarettes and other tobacco products. The Borough of Woodland Park
finds that it is within the public interest and more specifically
the health and welfare interest of children and adolescents to prohibit
the use of tobacco products within public places where children congregate,
gather, play and/or engage in athletic competitions. Smoking or carrying
lighted tobacco may be prohibited by the owner or person responsible
for operating any public place or by Municipal ordinance under the
authority of N.J.S.A. 40:48-1 et seq. and N.J.S.A. 2C:33-13b. The
Borough of Woodland Park has determined that Borough-operated parks,
playgrounds, athletic facilities, ball fields, buildings and properties
owned or leased by the Borough of Woodland Park are public places
where children congregate, play, gather and/or engage in athletic
competitions and, therefore, should be free from the existence of
tobacco use and second-hand smoke.
