The rule should be that a persons rights go right out the window once their behavior (in this case smoking) poses a health risk to others. If you want to go get cancer, be my guest, but do it in your home, not a beach where there are people that aren't interested in getting cancer. The littering problem is secondary in my book but is also solved with a smoking ban. Killing 2 birds with one stone is a wonderful thing....
Go smoke in your house, keep it off the beach.
