Should we extend smoking ban to the beach?

Could be happening in Brighton... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11752483/Brighton-could-be-the-first-UK-city-to-ban-smoking-on-the-beach.html

Seems like a stupid idea to me. Who would enforce this? What's the point?

Maybe stopping the sale of tobacco products would be a better idea.
Who will enforce it is the fairest point? What are they going to do? Have police patrolling the beach in the numbers needed to actually make sure no one is having a crafty fag

Not this again. That will not happen. the government makes an absolute fortune of taxing tobacco (and booze)

Would be an intense waste of money IMO.
It's when they say "this also includes the use of electronic cigarettes" and your like cmonnn
Come on, a beach is basically a giant sized ash tray anyway.
nope, I don't think we should even have a smoking ban
This is such a stupid idea imo. What next? Banning smoking in national parks? In the country side? :facepalm:

It does annoy me though when people just drop fag ends on the floor :mad:. You can smoke but take your damn rubbish home. I don;t leave my **** all over the floor.

Why don;t you just suck off a car exhaust pipe and be done with it.

I think the smoking ban is one of the best things to have happened to this country if I'm honest

I don't believe in using the government/coercion to stop simply inconveniences - I would only promote the government for things *I* would use coercion for, like stopping violent crimes, theft, etc
