Smokers believe the world is their ashtray.

I find fat people on the beach to be offensive.
Ban them also.

Again, smokers are thrust into a leper colony.
Or concentration camp.

Okay, I'm all for freedom and libertarian ideals, but to be honest I just don't mind banning the smoking for one reason: smokers throw butts wherever they want. I have lost count of the number of idiots smoking butts that toss them out of windows, toss them on the ground, toss them in dry, brittle, crispy weeds, toss them into large open cans of gasoline, toss them next to leaking propane tankers (okay maybe not the last two). An area can be absolutely absent from every type of trash BUT cigarette butts. The beach is not an ashtray, and that's what I've seen smokers treat it as.

I believe smokers should be able to smoke outside wherever they want,,,,, but next time I see a smoker flick his butt on the ground I will be tempted to pick it up and put it out on their forhead.

It hurts my eyes when I see ugly and moronic tatoos.
Let's make tatooed knuckleheads stay down by the garbage cans.

YES. I could care less if someone chooses to slowly off themselves with cigarettes, it's a free country. I get waaaaaay angered over the notion of it being acceptable to simply toss butts all over the place.

Things started to go wrong when someone named "Skip" got elected mayor ...

Fine the hell out of them for littering, this would bring revenue and clean up the beach. Isn't it always about money? What's a big lib from Palm Beach County thinking anyway?

And anti-smokers don't care about health.
My, what a sweeping statement you've made.

Enforce the litter laws. That's all that needs to be done.

This being Autumn, my daily drive home ends after dark ... the world's smokers are kind enough to give me a free fireworks show along the highway. (barf) There will be screeching and hollering from the usual suspects, of course, further highlighting the fact that rude, boorish, slovenly smokers are smokers' worst enemies. Sort of reminds me (in a much milder way) of a certain other group that's been in the news lately ...

I don't mind the smoke at the beach too much. It's the cigarette butts laying everywhere that annoy me.

Sounds like a good job for prison labor.

I'm not anti-smoker. Do as you please. Just pick up your trash.
