Proponents also say cigarette butts and filters damage the environment. During a three hour cleanup of city beaches last month, they say they found some 35,000 butts in the sand.

I’m convinced that this is all about the smell of the tobacco smoke that people object. You get more toxic effects from chemicals and cooking byproducts inside people’s homes.

?? Don’t those people need their butts?
Are things that funny in Chicago?
Did they all laugh their butts off?

Enforcement relies on citizens to turn smokers in to police. Smokers used to be citizens too.

Never mind all of the broken glass from the drunks
which use the beachfront as their bar and dump.

they say they found some 35,000 butts in the sand.Not that it really matters much, but I'd love to know how they came up with that number. Did they sort the butts from the other trash? If so, why? Or is that just another PDOOMA number?

Your ping wasn’t there when I pinged you. It took about 3 minutes to post the word “ping”.

Let them. When I light up somewhere and some nazi informant tells me to put it out, I tell ‘em to call a cop. By the time the cops get there, I’m done with the smoke. This $hit isn’t enforceable.

"I don't smoke in front of children. When I walk by children, I cup my cigarette in my hand. I don't want them to see it," Daniel Young said.Yes Daniel, hide reality from children. Feel guilt, go ahead. Do it for the children.
Feel better now, Daniel?

Unbelievable. Not the BS that second hand smoke harms anyone, especially outdoors, but unbelievable that such a ridiculous “law” would be passed.
Not even Canada is that bad.
Oh well, it’s almost dark, I think I’ll go burn some old tires...

"Especially with a toddler who picks up everything and puts it a lot of times, in his mouth," Susan Sholty said." But putting condoms, syringes, beer caps and roaches, used feminine products, plus what ever else washes up on the beach is fine.
Because it may effect the children, I want fat people wearing bikinis banned from beaches too.

Exactly. Paper towels, napkins, candy wrappers, Frito bags, soda cans, etc.
I once found the head of a trout with its mouth propped open with a stick. Why sweat the small stuff?
