Smoking anywhere is abhorrent. Cancer and several death causing diseases are present in the smoke that billows from the fools that smoke cigarettes, and more recently the "Blow Pipes." There needs to be an area on each Beach , designated for smoking. Disposable bins placed in those areas. A Policia Beach Patrol to charge 100 Euro fines( Multas) on any person smoking outside the designated areas. The Cancer from the smoke is passed on to anyone in the vicinity ,through passive smoke.
Great idea as I have moved position on a beach at times because of people lighting up nearby. BUT who is going to enforce this? Telling other beach goers to put their fags out and stop treating the beach as an ashtray will only cause a ruckus and spoil everyone's day.
