Any beachgoers that enjoy puffing away on a cigarette while they sit on the sand or frolic in the surf may have to get their nicotine fix elsewhere, as Oregon has proposed a ban on smoking that would include all 362 miles of beaches on its coastline.
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has followed up an earlier ban on smoking at most state park properties with this proposal, partly because the agency is worried that all those smokers pushed out of parks will come to the beach, reports the Associated Press.
The move would also serve to cut down on litter on the beaches and ensure consistent rules throughout the entire state parks system, an agency spokesman added.

Sounds like an awesome plan!!
Keep cheering fool...this poses no health threat ...was not the premise of cigs second hand smoke?? This is how nazis communist libtards roll.....senseless stupid moral laws..but you can kill a un bornbaby
I'm guessing that their bill will have provisions to hire more GD cops to search this 360 miles of coastline for all of these parlous menacing smokers. More cops that'll kill these dangerous inhuman smokers. After all, if a cop would kill someone for selling loose cigarettes you can be sure they'll kill someone for smoking one illegally.
Once they convince you to release your freedom they own you... It's a trick.
Not possible.
Smokers are pigs. 99.9% of all smokers look at the world as their personal ash tray.
Most of that coast line is sheer nothingness.A lot of movies were filmed there because the crews can stay there for weeks uninterrupted.Someone could die there and never be found.Then again,if someone was stranded there all they would have to do is light up.
