No Smoking On The Beach???

[BARENETTED]

I drove down to our Family Condo in Seaside Heights at the Jersey Shore this past Sunday. It is my first time here this summer. I am here for a week.

I have not been to the beach yet due to the rip currents from 'BILL'.
Anyway, tonight they were showing a movie on the beach so we walked down. About 15 feet from where you first walk on to the beach, there are large signs on poles reading - 'No Smoking Beyond this Point' . There are ashtrays attached to the poles. WTH - a designated smoking area on the beach????? I can't believe this.

Anyway, tomorrow I am going to spend the day at the beach and I hope to find out what the ruling is on Ecigs.

BARENETTED---there is no smoking here on the west coast beaches of Florida---laws went into effect a couple of years back---but you are vaping now---so no need for the .... on the beach.

I got a ticket for smoking at the beach here is Cali about 2 years ago- I went to court twice- cop never showed up so they dropped it, wasted a lot of my time.

I think that since the main reasons I've seen for no smoking on the beach is because of cig .... litter, there should be no problem with the PV. I can understand them making beaches no smoking because it ticked me off even when I smoked to find butts all around wherever I sat down. I took a empty soda can with me to put mine in and always ended up picking up many others and sticking them in there just to get them off the beach. I doubt anyone will even notice since beach areas are usually windy enough to blow any vapor away even faster than normal. If anyone asks tell them it's a nicotine inhaler that you're using to quit smoking and most likely you will get congratulated for quiting .

just my 2 cents

Moonflame - you are right - I found it was due to the butts on the beach.
I also found out that the machine they use to clean the beach at night is not able to get the butts.

It is disgusting. When I used to smoke, I put all my butts out near the base of my umbrella. When leaving for the day, I picked them all up and brought them to a garbage can. Some people just don't care enough about the next person or the cleanliness of our beaches.

I did vape all day and it was a great day at the beach (for me).
Looking forward to another 3 days of vaping on the beach.

It was kind of funny to see people taking their pack of cigs and going to the back of the beach to smoke

This year, they are giving you a warning. They say there will be fines next year - STRICTLY ENFORCED. 8-o8-o
