Ban smoking in all public places! Why should public places (which I'm pretty sure smokers and non-smokers tax money pays for) should not be a turn-off to those who don't smoke. I personally get sick to my stomach when I smell smoke (Really, I do). They banned it in bars and restaurants recently which are usually individually owned, why shouldn't beaches and public parks ban it?

I shouldn't have to worry about getting lung cancer when I go to the beach (I should be worrying more about skin cancer from the sun!).

Smoking is bad for the smoker.
Smoking is bad for the public.
Smoking pollutes the air and lazy smokers create unnecessary litter.
It will be nice not stepping on half-butts and breathing in those toxic fumes.
