Should Smokers Not Be Able To Smoke On The Beach?

In America we are coming off one of our greatest holiday beach weekends – 4th of July.  Nothing is more fun then going to the beach with some friends and cooking out and having some beers, it is American fun at its finest.  However there has been an increase in the amount of cigarettes thrown on the shores of our wonderful beaches.

Smokers are banned from restaurants and bars to light up when they choose.  However the beaches are still free for smokers.  But there is a big movement in making it illegal to smoke on the beaches as well.  I for one, being a smoker have to agree with these people.  I know I know, you are probably shaken to why.

Well the answer lies in the fact that when you go to the beach there is cigarette butts everywhere!  It is terrible.  I for one make sure that we make empty beer cans or something the designated ashtray.  No need to add to the crap on the beach and contribute to the mess there….don’t worry BP has got you covered there.

If you intend to travel to the beach this summer, do your part by either bringing a plastic bag or something to put your cigarette butts in.  Please.

We all know how long it takes cigarettes to decompose and having that wash away with the tide is just too much for our earth to be burdened with anymore.

Please remember this post when you intend on having fun on the beach, make it be a better place than when you went there.
