I wonder if the same applies to alcoholic drinks.

I can see the boom in Jackson, North Conway and Glenn over this.
Give me Glenn - my kind of town - 2 bars no churches.
But, seriously, folks as a parent I do not need the grubmint to determine what is or is not acceptable public behavior.
As to exposure to someone else's tobacco smoke in an outdoor venue - all I can say is cut me a break.

Aren't smokers taxpayers? Seems to me that if you can't take advantage of open places, you should not be taxed for their upkeep. I wonder if these dolts thought of that?

Smoking is no longer allowed in parks and town-owned recreation areas in Conway. It might behoove the powers that be to have a chat with the officials in Bartlett about the partying teenagers on Cathedral Ledge. Conway officials really have more serious problems around the beach at Echo Lake than adults engaging in a (still) legal activity such as smoking a tobacco product.

I love the white mountain area. Now I will love it even more.

I am a diehard anti-smoker, having seen what it did to my father.
But this is ridiculous. As long as tobacco is legal, smoking it on the beach or any other outdoor venue shouldn't be restricted. I'd allow a school to limit it to certain places on an athletic field; I wouldn't want to be sitting next to a smoker in the bleachers getting smoke in my face while I was watching a game, but if the smoker was off to one side I wouldn't care.

I think they should get serious about giving children a good example, I think they should also ban:
-diet drinks with aspartame
-all cola drinks (PH way to low)
-all fattening junk food
-fat people
-people who dress sloppily
-all idiot taxpayer's who would put up with such a stupid ban and not kick the idiots out of office
Anyone care to add to the list?

Smoking is no longer allowed in parks and town-owned recreation areas in Conway. Sounds like the Republic of Maine.
