    Completely agree and this is exactly why I can never get any reading done on the beach. Every sensory is on overload and I love it!

    I'm cool with folks drunk on the beach or even the clubs but I can't stand the rude and obnoxious folks whether drunk or sober.

    The world would be a better place if people occasionaly thought about how their actions may effect others. The world may never be a better place.

    One time these two ladies sat next to me and started smoking cigarettes. I politely asked them to either not smoke or move because cig smoke gives me a headache. I mean afterall, I was there first, right? Well not only did they not move, but those two witches made my stay miserable until they left. Some people don’t realize they are being discourteous and others do. So now, since I can’t tell the difference I’m happy to be the one to move. Yes even if it means picking up my blanket, towel and the rest of my 6-pack.

    Did the flick their butts in the sand when they were done? First, they subject a perfect stranger to the deadly effects of second hand smoke, then they litter. I would love for a smoker to explain why they think it is okay to simply discard their butts wherever it may be convenient for them.

    I could never understand inconsiderate smokers. And I don't care if many others do it, maybe it's because I'm a vet and we always had to "police" our butts, but I hate people who smoke and then litter their butts all over the place too!

    i dont know - i might be the sole voice of opposition - on the music i mean - i think when someone is on vacation they should be able to listen to there music on the beach.. volume limits i get - but i am the guy with a ipod on a cheapo speaker dock from ebay jammin out - i am playing dancehall and reggae - but if i was a top 40 guy - thats what i would play - and i guess being a spoiled american - i would expect to be able to do it on the beach..

    i dont smoke - but grew up in a family of smokers, so i am used to it i guess, but i also wouldnt appreciate inconsiderate smokers.. ive never been close enough to be bothered by a smoker.. i dont condone littering either

    Good grief ..if you can't handle a smoker on the beach ..and yes I do mind my butts .. how in the world do you eat anywhere ..or sit at a bar ? Complaining of smoke in Jamaica is like complaining of snow on a Canadian winter vacation ..

    There are cities where smoking in a restaurant/bar or even in a public park and on the beach is illegal. When you are a non smoker and live in this type of city, you grow less and less accustomed to smelling smoke and it becomes more of a bother when you are actually around it, say on the beach in JA.
    I hope this helps you understand why/how some people would be bothered by the smoke on the beach.
