New Signs All Over Downtown Salisbury

Do you think your Liberal leaders will outlaw smoking soon like they've done in Rehoboth? My guess, this is just the beginning.

I understand and would hope that there will be a place to actually dispose of them. NOT THE UNEMPTIED TRASH CANS
I smoke where it's legal because it's my choice to do so

Its conforming. The people will see this and think it's a great idea without thinking about their rights quietly being taken. Most folks don't smoke. Still not a reason to infringe on a smokers rights.

11:10. I don't think this is in any way an effort to infringe on smokers rights. The right to smoke doesn't mean you have a right to litter. I am a smoker and if there is nowhere to immediately dispose of my butt, I put it out and hold onto it until I find a receptacle to dispose of it. Really no different than a non smoker shouldn't through their empty soda cups or food wrappers on the ground. Everyone is responsible for their litter.

It is not infringing on smokers rights to ask them to pick up their butts.

I smoke everyday and I don't find being asked not to drop unsightly butts all over the streets unreasonable at all. I don't do it now as a matter of fact I stump it out and put it back in the pack until I return home.

12:31, Maybe I should go back Downtown today and take pictures of each and every one of the signs they have placed on the Plaza. My point is, they are everywhere. Isn't it a shame that we have so many PIGS not only littering the streets but we have a Mayor who has to put up tons of signs littering the Plaza because the Police are too damned lazy to write a ticket and spread the word that you will be fined for littering. Oh, that's right, crime is DOWN in Salisbury. Shouldn't that mean they have time to walk the Plaza and ENFORCE a law?

maybe they should enforce the littering laws.

Infringing on smokers rights? Don't I have a right to breathe? Don't I have a right to walk around town or anywhere and not have to inhale your toxic fumes? Don't I have a right to walk through a business or your place of employment without having to inhale your polluted air?

You should be legally allowed to smoke anywhere you choose outdoors!

Its the start of no smoking period! Delaware is succeeding in it!
Here is a thought! A guy opens a bar and says I want to allow smokers only. Why can't he? Because the government says so? Its bs! Establishments should be allowed to identify and accommodate who they want as patrons. If a patron doesn't smoke and do sent want to be aroind it then go to a smoke free place.
Off smoking....how about the town you live in telling you you cant paint your house a certain color? Its your house is it not?
Point is this is how rights and liberties start being taken silently while the sheeple applaud! I'm not saying ciggy butts on the ground is OK. But it happens. Police should issue more tickets to those who do. But what's next? No smoking in the plaza? In town limits? Only can smoke in your house or car? Where will it end?

You must be a teacher. The air to smoke ratio outdoors in no way can effect you .and walk around town without toxic fumes? Look at the hundreds of vehicles around you. Did you know a human inhales more fecal matter than any other substance except oxygen? Stfu with your im almighty I don't smoke.

2:49 just left a shotty taste in 1:36 's mouth! Lol. What a tool. Good job there 49! Couldn't have been said better.

"Air to smoke ratio", "inhales more fecal matter than any other substance". Youre an idiot. Maybe you should have listened to your science teachers. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, not oxygen. Maybe you should stfu. Go smoke your cancer sticks and inhaling your fecal matter.

I hope it does go the same as Rehoboth.

He probably was responding to your crazy comment like a bat out of hell and forgot nitrogen. Because he is spot on. Your talking elements! Talk about toxins and air pollutants fecal matter most inhaled. I'm also assuming that if one doesn't smoke. All I can say is 2:49 has this one won.

smoking SHOULD be outlawed

You sure this sign isn't for the homeless who sit there?

4:36 I had no previous comment. So i guess oxygen is a toxin now. 2:49 is the one that brought it up. Speak intelligently or stay quiet. You two must be global warming liberals. You are both idiots. You both lose.

This is like reading a comedy routine. Breathing fecal matter....seriously. Based on this back and forth, no wonder Salisbury is a lost cause.

Joe this has nothing to with smoking. Jimmy Ireton just wants you to pick up your Butt lol

I do agree that the signs can be just as ugly as the butts. Perhaps a middle ground somewhere can be reached. It would be similar to a "warning X fine for graffiti" on every wall to combat vandalism.

Here's a CRAZY idea. Show me ONE ash tray in ALL of Downtown Salisbury? THERE ARE NONE! Ireton is a flaming Idiot.
