This is the most ascinine argument that has been going on for too long. People smoke, I personally don't, but it is a freedom that a person has. I think that people have just picked this topic to fluff their own feathers and make them sound like they care about the environment. The truth is with this proposed ban that it cannot be enforced. The tide line changes hourly which in turn changes jurisdiction of law enforcement. This is the same thing as happened in Carolina beach, and they went ahead and put it out there and it is not going to go any further. Why can people not understand that and keep pushing the matter. The cops are not going to go out and write tickets to smokers they have more important things to do then go to all the calls you know all the wrightsville beach "locals" are gonna be calling about. This is gonna end up like dogs and turtles, idiots calling about them all the time. I had an officer talk to me two days ago saying someone called about my dog and they said it happens all the time, don't you "locals" realize we can have dogs on the beach now, please get a life and mind your own business or if you are gonna be annoying and bother the cops and everyone else at least know the rules before you try and be a cop yourself.
