A village on Long Island’s “Gold Coast” has banned smoking on public sidewalks.

The Great Neck Village Board approved the ban at a meeting Tuesday. It claims to be the first municipality in the state to enact a smoking restriction.

Mayor Ralph Kreitzman said the ban was enacted after officials got complaints about smokers standing outside stores.

Violators in the 1.2-square-mile village could face fines of up to $1,000.
