I grew up on the beach. That is the first time I have heard that too.

We used to spend every summer at the beach when I was a teenager.  And that was back in the days where everyone smoked.  And I still can't remember butts all over the beach like the anti's are trying to pin on us today.  Can you?

I can't remember butts being a problem on a beach.

I do know that I would not like to see if someone dumped their car ashtrays in a mall parking lot.  But that goes on even today.

From when I was 8 years old up to 14? I use to be on the beach at 6am every morning every summer to clean it.

There were NOT a lot of cigarette butts. That was the least of the trash I would find.

I was just thinking the above. Agreed. Furthermore, I can never recall being burnt on the beach by a cigarette and during various periods of my life, I spent entire summers on the beach, when there were many more smokers and laws/rules against smoking were almost non-existent
