Smoking on the beach?

[gerryg123]

I was there and got around quite a bit -- and no one seemed to care about smoking ...

" I take the stand that all smoking of cancer causing substances should be banned indoors and out. Ganja (the last I checked) would not be banned using that criteria.

That is where the priority should be."

I will second that stand....why when it is proven BEYOND a doubt that smoking cigs causes cancer/other fatal lung problems.......I am a ex-smoker, and married to a nurse(doesn't smoke).............and its true what they say....The longer it has been after you quit, the worse the second hand smoke reeks.......why pay $$ to harm yourself ????

I have very poor self-control so if I can quit anybody can.........its not easy, but life was never meant to be easy, just rewarding and fulfilling.........ask for Gods help, or anybody's help ....getting tired of seeing names on this board passing away, quit making dying easier..

One last comment from me. This is a universal problem not limited to Jamaica.

AS Rob inferred, I doubt that the enforcement of this smoking ban is high on the list of those who would be required to enforce it.

So, feel free to spew a known carcinogen that has proven to be deadly to you and to those that may have the unfortunate circumstance of being near you.

Yes, because if it wasn't for cigarettes, there would be no carcinogens floating around. None from cars, none from grills, none from motorcycles, none from fires, none from aerosols, zero. Nothing.

Seriously, though, the considerate thing for smokers to do is simply take it outside and/or step away from any crowd before you light up.

A typical and tired argument. Not to mention that if more smokers were considerate, we would not be having these conversations.
