No more smoking on the beach
All beaches are public. There will be a Smoking Section 60 meters back from the water line.
So if you happen to be prohibited from crossing onto a section of beach that is bordered by barriers or, protected by security personnel, what do you tell them?
If there isn't an established Right of Way, you don't have the right to pass thru someone else's property. I imagine it used to be pretty much ignored on new construction. Not so much anymore. They watch very close and will shut down a project while they decide on a ruling re RoW.
I think this is a smart move. It may take years to catch on but eventually it is coming. How many of my restaurant meals, including on the beach, have been spoiled by some jackass tourist pretending to be a rich aficionado. They sit puffing on a cheap cigar the size of a turd from a fat man acting like they are enjoying a fine treat and they are a rich foreigner.
Many of these bozos wouldn't know good tobacco if it slapped them.
Getting rid of smoking will happen someday except among the uneducated and in China where they couldn't care less about theirs or anyone else's health or the environment.

Does this not reinforce my statement regarding ALL beaches NOT being public?
It was my intention to have used quotes instead of capitals as I was not attempting to be boorish, but simply wanted to emphasize the meaning of my previous statement. My editing feature automatically capitalized the letters. Not my intent.
As a Libertarian, I am all for the rights of people to do whatever they want as long as it does not harm others.
Turns out, smoking tobacco does harm others.
It has been stated that the nicotine from cigarette butts damages the reef.
Second hand smoke in enclosed places damages other people's health.
I have no problem with laws that ban smoking tobacco in either location.
You are deplorable.
:dead:If you like kissing an ashtray knock yourself out.
:tired:I say arrest children who deposit little brown logs in the water at Boca Chica.
That shallow lagoon is the best place in driving distance from where I live to chill.
I just don't get cigar smoking. The fake manliness of cigar smoking makes me SMH.
Yes, youve just got to light up while waist-deep

Then wouldnt it be more sensible to just apply a " no littering " law ?
Then while you enjoy not stepping upon discarded cigarette waste, you could also enjoy not splitting your foot on a broken presidente bottle, you could also enjoy not smelling the forgetten dirty nappy, etc, etc........
Obviously, in the perfect world, it would be a good mesure. But, sadly, just thrown out there for PR brownie points, it will have 0 effects.
Any " normal" gringo smoker would/should dispose of his cigarette butts in an ashtray ( yes, yes, ask for one at the beach, where you get your drinks, you will be suprised ), or a disposable ashtray ( small metal box, that clips closed, handed out at every beach or festival back in the civilised world )..........
P.S. a good start would be introducing the dr to public bins. Not only on the beach, but in the cities, etc......

The fish can still get second hand smoke.
