No-smoking forces taking new territory: the beach | csmonitor.com Beaches are becoming No Smoking Zones as the Coastal towns pass ordinences tomake their beaches smoke free. It appears that the towns really beloieve the second hand smoke propaganda generated from the EPA.
Solana Beach was the first California city to ban smoking at the beach when it enacted its prohibition last September. San Clemente imposed a similar ban last week. Santa Monica is likely to follow suit Tuesday, and Encinitas may vote on the issue within a month.
With the momentum of early victories, antismoking activists are taking their arguments to other coastal cities, from San Diego to Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and beyond.
Los Angeles is also drafting a no-smoking ordinance for Venice, Dockweiler, Will Rogers, and Cabrillo beaches.
While California destroys itself fiscally, its nice to know the smoking Taliban still haven't lost the will to go after the evil smokers. If it were really about keeping the beaches clean they would outlaw condoms and beverages at the beaches.
