Should smoking be banned on our beaches?

[Allifunn]

I'm a smoker and I always dispose of my butts properly. Banning smoking on the beach is just another useless law that our local LEO's won't enforce.

Although I am quitting as of January 1, watch out.

:shock: Yeah...right.....

I spend many mornings on the beach picking up trash, and I have to say, most of the trash washes in from the Gulf...not from people on the beach. I have picked up many a "butt' and they are all mostly on the shore from off shore flicking. This last Sunday I can not tell you how much trash I picked up and threw away that had accumulated in the seaweed that washed up on shore...mostly boating trash!!!!!! Lets not JUST talk about the beach bound litterers!!!!!!! :roll:

There are a lot of people here with great connections. In ref to this issue, has anyone checked out the No Butts About It Campaign? Maybe this could be something the TDC takes on? Making people aware of our problems, may lead to greater support. Just a thought.

We had a beach clean up Sunday at Ed Walline. This was a pretty common sight! Pick up your butts when you leave people! Please!
