State bans on specific lawn care equipment

Very simplistic question.

I live in NJ, and the state is talking about enacting a ban on gas powered leaf blowers.

I get it, they produce a large amount of greenhouse gases as well as nitrous oxide as well as other pollutants, not to mention noise.

Does this technically violate the 5th amendment takings clause, as the state has diminished the value of something I own? Would it be possible for lawn care companies to seek compensation if they are no longer allowed to use a key tool in their arsenal?

Not a company owner or anything, just curious what recourse is available.

Thanks!
