The only reason that the smoking ban referendum is on the ballot for Wrightsville Beach is because the legislators failed to do their jobs and reflect what their constituents wanted. Since they refused to pass the desired smokefree beach ordinance, the residents in town had to do it themselves.
Besides being able to enjoy the sand and the surf with your kids without someone's tobacco smoke blowing in your or your family's faces, a smokefree beach environment results in a cleaner beach without seeing the toxic non-biodegradible cigarette butts in the sand, which can be accidentally ingested by an infant playing in the sand.
