Revises "New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act" to prohibit smoking at certain outdoor public places.

S 3222 amends New Jersey's Smoke-Free Air Act to prohibit smoking in specific outdoor public areas, such as parks and beaches. It directly affects individuals who smoke in these locations and businesses operating there, requiring them to enforce the ban. The key provision extends the existing indoor smoking prohibition to cover these outdoor spaces to reduce secondhand smoke exposure. The bill also clarifies definitions, including for electronic smoking devices, to ensure consistent enforcement.
