A Lot of nanny state responses here. Progressives??

Notice though; I didn't post this here for comment or anti this or anti that just if you smoke and tired of people telling you where and when you can then do something!
I have!

Post on a forum, but don't want discussion?

I don't smoke never have. Yeah I don't like the smell either or the butts.
It just like the seat belt law, banning lead bullets , and shoving wolves down our throats. When is enough  enough?

Thanks for bringing this to everyones attention.  I was happy to go and support my view of not smoking on public beaches

[rtspring]

Here we go!!

You non smokers can go pound sand!! Why do the smokers have to go elsewhere? Take your body elsewhere! Why must I give up my right cause you dont like the smell of smoke?  To frickin bad! 

We can all jump on the litter part banwagon all day long! Think that will keep the beaches clean?  Not hardly. 

You eat a fatty steak that can give you heart disease? So dont go the health route with me neither!!! Ive smoked most of my life and can climb any mountain a non smoker can..  I also run 3-5 miles a day!
You could very well be run over by a car trying to cross the street! Its my body, I can do with it what I want..

So take your propoganda elsewhere..  I dont force smokes on you, so dont try to force us that do to quit..

please tell kitzhaber to go fly a kite.

Beaches are better suited to flying a kite than smoking. The smokers can pound sand; that's also a better alternative.

Another great comment from a mod....   Pound sand???

Rtspring, you'll live longer if you quit smoking today. Just think of all those extra years of elk hunting you'll get! 

Plus we don't like to see your butts all over the ground.

I have to disagree with you RT. Every time a smoker lights up in public you are forcing it on those around you, then when you throw your butts on the ground you are again forcing it on those around you. No one is forcing any smokers to quite. Just do it on your own time in a private place. I wish smoking had similar public usage laws that alcohol and marijuana have. Feel free to do it just not in public.  :two cents:

Oh and csaaphill, good luck keeping non-smokers out of the conversation.

Brings out the progressive in folks doesn't it

[bobcat]

If you think about it, how much sense does it make to put a burning object in your mouth and breathe the smoke from it into your lungs? Makes me wonder, who was the first person who thought that was a good idea?

[JimmyHoffa]

Is the problem at the campgrounds by the beach where people have campfires?  Oregon beaches are usually so windy I can't imagine the smoke from a cigarette really being that bad.     It usually burns them down in a minute anyways, assuming it can get lit.
Back in the day, you just told the smoker it was bothering you and they would move a few feet so the smoke went past you.
