Twighlight zone stuff going on here, lol. Thanks.
I would say talk to the gardener at the hotel or an older cleaning lady if the have to bring to you next day get a little on the beach till then. I would pick my spots as to where to do it in the open. If your out at a place just ask someone if you can eat a sub most times the answer will be no problem Mon!
I also use my driver. He always takes good care of me.
BTW. JUTA drivers are not permitted to discuss the subject while on duty.

It is NOT okay to smoke it anywhere...please be respectful & ask the property owner if no one else is already smoking at an establishment with permission.
And, I would love to know where you got your statistics, Gerry. I would have said completely the opposite...less smokers than non smokers!
Since many tourists still come down here & think that it's legal to smoke here....I'm going to be the party pooper & remind everyone that it still is very much illegal to smoke "subs" in Jamaica.
thank you for clarifying that, BnewB...
what an ignorant comment, gerryg123 ..yu even have statistics and probably have never spent time in any more than 2 or 3 of the 14 parishes...
Gerry,
According to the Tobacco Atlas, only 20.5% of the Jamaican male population smoke legal tobacco.
http://www.tobaccoatlas.org/products...e/males_smoke/
According to the Jamaican MP Dayton Campbell, "A third of Jamaicans have used ganja in any form and 30 per cent of Jamaicans have smoked marijuana with males reporting this three times more frequently than females.
Fewer than a half of reported users are current smokers of the product, but this differs between males and females, with a third of females and a half of males reporting current use. The most commonly reported frequency among current users is daily use, with 9.6 per cent of the population (approximately 50 per cent of current smokers) reporting this frequency and males almost nine times more than among females reporting."

So, according to a government Minister of Parliament, fewer than half of the 33% who have ever used ganja are currently using it at any one time. That would be about 16% for the casual user and 9.6% for the daily user out of all the people on the island. I would think that a Minister of Parliament has access to some rather accurate data, especially when presenting that data for the record in front of Parliament.
That is some 3 million people we are talking about. How many times have you been to places like Mandeville or Kingston?
So Gerry, Bnewb and Ackee ask a good question, where did you come up with your statistic that there are more smokers than non-smokers on the island at any one time?
And so it is absolutely clear to everyone, it is EXTREMELY NOT OKAY to smoke it almost anywhere. And even after ganja is legalized/decriminalized here, it will still be regulated as to where you can and cannot smoke. Just as cigarettes currently are...

Well, everyone seems to smoke it all the time, so that's what I go by ....
Interesting. So you base your island wide statistical statements on the EXTREMELY limited number of the 3 million Jamaicans you have had occasion to interact with? Well, at least everyone now knows how to interpret your view point on things...
The vast majority of people we interact with never smoke it...
