Somking in public places and buildings is banned where I live and it rocks!!! Also I can understand not wanting to turn the beach into one giant ash tray. The only place people should be allowed to smoke is on their own private property.
I agree, keep that trash at home.
Sorry Goweb, Smoking is terrible, and as a human being, I have the right to not be poluted while enjoying the outdoors. Smoking has been proven to do nothing benificial for society, and actually kills people. Cigarette butts on the beach do not decompose very well. And i know this is a generality, but most smokers are used to littering, and littering is against the law. How many times have you seen some butt wipe smoker toss his cigarette butt out of a moving car? At least once a day? Yes, cans on the beach is a problem too, and in my opinion the littering fines should be more strictly enforced, we just don't have the man power to do so.
Banning smoking on the beach is a good idea. hell, banning smoking in ANY public place is a good idea, all the smokers should have to go to enclosed rooms and smoke together...lol.
