Malibu gave the final OK yesterday to its ban on beach smoking, joining the cities of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San Clemente and Solana Beach. Malibu's ordinance takes effect in 30 days; Santa Monica's prohibition against puffing on the sand becomes the law on Thursday. Seeing how easily the new bans are passing, Westside Assemblyman Paul Koretz plans to introduce a bill to forbid beach smoking on the beach anywhere in California.
