I approve the smoking ban. I've been to nonsmoking beaches & it's very pleasant to be able to walk the beach & not see a bunch of butts lying around. It didn't stop the people from the going to the beach, in fact, the residents say it brought more tourists cause they liked being on a clean beach. Smokers who toss their butts where they belong are an exception. All the folks who are screaming about this ban why don't you start picking them up & tossing them in the trash then you might change your mind cause it's disgusting. When I walk the beach I pick up so much trash mostly plastic/butts, it's sad that we have so many irresponsible people who expect others to clean up after them.
