How about the non-smokers learn to be friendly and filled with understanding rather than hate towards smokers? This land is your land and this land is my land. Respect goes both ways and again: you do not OWN a public beach so if my smoking fine ass cannot find a non-crowded spot? I have as much right to sit beside your "feel so entitled" ass as the next person. Smoker or not.
Sorry, but you do not have the right to sit next to me on the beach and spread your cancer-causing pollutants to me and my children. Perfectly legal products are regularly prohibited from public areas in the interests of protecting the rights of all and make them child-friendly. How many localities ban intoxicating beverages from public places, including beaches. Never hear any outcry about that... but touch smoking... wow, that is such a sacred cow... give me a break... if you can't go without our tobacco fix, then don't go to where there will be other people outside trying to enjoy themselves without the presense of buttheads...
I USED to try to be understanding of smokers, but I have had too many experiences with butthead cancer stick addicts to be understanding of them any longer... why don't buttheads try to be understanding of the MAJORITY who don't want cancer sticks and their emmissions shoved in their faces?
