With regards to the idea of banning smoking on our beaches I thoroughly disagree.

I hate smoking and as someone who volunteers to litter pick and find that cigarette butts are a blight on our town.

I think banning them on our beaches would be a step too far, we have thankfully made it compulsory they smoke outside (we can now go out and not have to wash clothes straight away because they stink) but it wouldn’t be right to stop them outside too, and this from someone who hates smoke the smell is awful.

I was brought up in a smoke filled home hated it.

Thank you for allowing my opinion.
