California beaches become smoke-free

Ahhh, but just as there are rude smokers, there are rude dog owners..........I've chased several of them off my front lawn, allowing their dogs to use my lawn as their personal toilet, and those owners were NOT prepared to pick up the mess either. Trust me, NOT all pet owners are respectful of other people's property.

They are given a fine.
The more people are prejudiced about other people's "personal" choices and get on the band wagon to take rights from others, they are setting up for many constitutional rights to be taken away.
Smokers pay taxes and now they can not smoke in that city or county? Sounds like discrimination to me.
If I were to be fined for smoking in a public place, at the beach or what have you and were fined, I would not pay the fine, I would let them jail me for the week end and get my tax dollars worth. After all, those prejudiced people who fought against my rights to smoke (as long as my tobacco is legal), can pay thru their taxes, the court fees, the processing of me in and out of jail, the feeding and clothing me for the week end in the ol'county pokey.
No I have not been a guest at the pokey in the past.
I just do not agree with the taking of other people's rights. The Constitution applies to everybody regardless if we approve or disapprove of their life styles and personal choices.
You have a product that is legal and then punish a person for enjoying the product? How fck'd up is that? Only in California will you find the begining of the fall of America.
Hmmmm. I guess I squeezed a liitle info in regarding the Illegal Alien Invasion that our country is currently enduring. The liberals in Ca enjoy picking up the bill for the illegal aliens while chasing us smokers off of our beaches, that we pay taxes as well for the maintainence of.
Go figure!

i would rather smell smoke on the beach, then step in some dog crap, or have the flies that breed from that crap land in my food. or be hounded by dogs while trying to relax on the beach. but i guess the dogs got more rights then the smokers.

It was fun living there with the ocean.
I had no problem with employment in L.A. as a salesperson, those rich older women would get tickled when I talked my Hillbilly Southern talk.
Nothing sells shoes faster than telling a ugly woman she looks "perty".

<quoted text>More dogs and poop bag dispensers on the beach, less whiners and beach nazis. Get out of your cars and walk to the beach if you want to complain about smoking in the sea breeze. What a joke! What a bunch of idiots!

When an owner lets their dog poop on your property, follow them home. Pick the poop up, put it in a bag and put it on their front porch. Most of the time, I yell out..hey, you forgot something! They do pick it up.

Same place??? Maybe send them all to Texas and they can smoke to their little hearts content.......just joking with ya. I guess it's just not a good time to be a smoker

So the people who are unfortunatly employed in those two bars or restaurants would have to take a risk with their health to be able to put a roof over their heads cause you want to smoke inside? Nice try, but NOPE. I enjoy smoke free dining and since I don't drink, I don't frequent bars. It's not the smell of smoke I worry about, it's the toxins the cigarettes have been proven to put out. Geesh, still the same sorry excuses smokers use time and time again.
