Hawai'i putting the smack down....

Just saw this over on CNN.com:
Oahu bans smoking at the beach - CNN.com

Notice towards the bottom what it says about E-cigs...

+1 for Hawai'i in my book.

Thoughts, ideas?

OMG! They had to use a picture from 1962?

Good on them for not including PVs though

Way to go Hawaii

I can see people picking up e-cigs now "just for the beach" and ending up switching over completely. Nice!

They also consider my favorite hurricane food (Spam) a delicacy and call each other "brah."

^5's all around.

I agree with this. I took the kids to a beach on saturday. I couldnt believe the amount of people who were in the shallow area with a cig hanging out of their mouth. Gross. I never did that when i smoked.

I am always glad when "they" are OK with ecigs

but I never like seeing stricter smoking laws ......

 

[soba1]

Niiiice I like that........................

While I don't particularly care for the smoking bans in general (because its only a short addendum away from a vaping ban) I do love that they make the distinction between the two.

And spam is awesome, IF you know what you're doing with it. Kinda like na rba... its all in how you build it

Spam and Pineapple chunks on a skewer with some pepper and garlic is food of the gHods. Especially after a hurricane.

sounds awesome! I'm a fan of some "sushi" my S.O. makes called Spam Musabi... its a Hawaiian snack/ lunch thingy... marinated grilled spam over some sushi rice wrapped in nori. Good stuff! Might have to add some grilled pineapple to it next time....

Hawaii is leading the charge in NOT folding to the powers that be...

Volcano is a big vendor based in Hawaii.
They advertise well, and they are active in the community.

These are some things that they have accomplished...

We could all take a lesson...

 

[Fenris4024]

Agree 400% DC2! Seems that the Islands are always a bit more free thinking about things too. Maybe its the tropical air? (I'm including Key West in here) Hopefully, this kind of good forward thinking will spill over into the mainland.

Oops, thanks Sonic.. I wasn't even aware that there was a location for those!

If they're keeping butts off the beach, what are they sitting upon?
