Crazy Smoking Ban . . . . . . .

[Ski at 1SKY6]

It's ridiculous. I don't think people should be allowed to wear perfume or cologne in public in that case, that's even more offensive if you ask me.

If it proves to be a health risk to others, I would agree. But until then, we all still have the right to express ourselves in  dress, smell, and speech even if it is offensive to others.

. . . . . . . . . . . .   Was just passed in Long Branch NJ for NO SMOKING ON THE BEACH! How crazy is that?

I'm not a smoker, never was, but I think people are getting out of hand with outdoor No Smoking restrictions!

Smokers will be confined to a very small section of the beach to smoke. Any smoker caught lighting up anywhere other than that section, will be fined "$250" for the first offense!


What say you, should smoking be banned on beaches?  

Smoking on the beach is like shitting on the beach. A person has no right to pollute in someone else's space. It has been proven there are health risks associated with second hand smoke.

The chances of someone catching second hand smoke on the beach is about as much as them turning queer because they set up a beach chair next to your gay ass.

My ass has been known to turn heads. Never has it been known to  flip a hetero dude.   Sally may be blowing smoke up my ass. And anybody who sat a beach chair next to mine would most likely be gay already. You may have the power to turn a straight guy gay, but I don't.

It's blowing in the open air. It's not affecting anyone, it's not like smoking in a restaurant or enclosed space. There are way worse chemicals polluting the air. I would think that someone who didn't have any rights not so long ago wouldn't be for imposing laws against something that isn't even affecting them. Meh, people have nothing better to do I guess.

I does affect me. I have lived in my Florida Condo for 31 years and was subjected to my neighbors chain smoking so much that I  had to keep my windows closed. 5 Years ago they both died from emphysema and I was so relieved to be able to open my place up and enjoy the fresh air. After a year passed their children inherited their place and they also chain smoke. I am back to keeping my windows closed. I don't expect someone who smokes, such as yourself,  to understand how offensive it is to continually be subjected to second hand smoke. There are provisions on the Long Branch Beach for smokers. There is a "Smoking Area" for them. It isn't banned, it's just limited to an area away from those who want to breathe clean air.
