But if sebby has a market-based solution to the problem of littering, I am all ears.

If the ban were based on littering, I'd get behind it. I agree smoker's litter is offensive.
But it's not based on that. It's predicated on a absolutely unsupportable claim that second hand smoke on a beach might somehow cause cancer in a person sitting ten feet from you, which is outrageous. That they'd even offer such a predicate shows just how stupid the public is, and how sure the govt is that it can get away with using misinformation to achieve goals. That's saddening and frightening.
But hey, if we're stupid enough to be manipulated by this shit, we deserve whhat we get.
