Good Intentioned : 12/9/2009

I like Channelkeepers mission but West Beach is a city not a county beach correct? There is also the fact that county beaches dont cover much area Arroyo Burro as a example walk a few hundred yards in either direction and you are on private property (to the high tide line) that has a public easement and would not be covered by such a law.

but kinda useless

: 12/9/2009

Next thing you know they'll be telling ya you can't have sex on the beach

Hope for the Future! : 12/9/2009

The City normally follows the County's lead, so the hope is to have a County ordinance by June and a City ordinance soon after.

Smokers are Losers : 12/9/2009

How hard are you trying to be cool? You're not James Dean or Marilyn Monroe. I get so pissed watching losers throw butts out their car windows - not to mention YOU STINK! Get over your stupid habit - get some manners/consideration.

Oh dear Dan. You have the problem so you get over it before you go into coronary failure.
So much worse than cigarrettes and next on the ballot is going to be banning stupid stinking wood burning fireplaces and the inconsiderate losers who use them. In SB we are packed in like sardines yet these inconsiderate a-holes burn and smolder their stinking crap day and night forcing everyone on the block to inhale their garbage. There are options to burning wood in fireplaces so stop polluting the Santa Barbara air with your foul stench. Gawd talk about cough and gag. Wood burning fireplaces need to be banned everywhere and forever. They stink something fierce.

ban won't mater : 12/9/2009

This ban won't really matter much, since so many people in Santa Barbara County are smoking whitecloudecigoutlet.com regardless...

Justin - Obviously you smoke... : 12/9/2009

The article is about cigarettes goofball. Your response is like saying Marlboros aren't as bad as Chernobyl...
I wouldn't use "coronary" either in a retort on this subject. Nice try though :)

where is your butt? : 12/9/2009

And please tell me how many butts on the beach are from the debris in the ocean and how many are from beach smokers? Another non-issue for the moral police to regulate. Why not allow the cops to search your car for cigarettes when you pull into Hendry's beach?

Big Brother

Big Brother Government Tyranny Marches forward..... : 12/9/2009

This is absolutely ludicrous. We have a bunch of elected officials that believe they are morally superior to the people and want to control our every action. As a non-smoker, I find this law absolutley appalling. Now, we will have pigs patrolling the beaches looking to bust smokers trying to enjoy peace and relaxation at the beach.

Whose going to enforce? : 12/9/2009

Isn't there laws on the books against camping overnight on our beaches? Aren't there laws against peeing and drinking alcohol on our beaches?
What about driving while texting? What driving while having a cell phone in one hand and two occupied baby seats in the back seat? What about driving with NO baby seat?
What about 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS???
Keep on writing "laws"... maybe one day we will be able to enforce some of them

Good ban, at least I can still smoke pot on the beach : 12/9/2009

I am glad to see this law on the books. When I am sitting around in the sand getting stoned with my legal pot, the cigarette smoke always bothers me. Bravo to the county sups.

Pot smokers dont litter

The Butt is the Problem : 12/9/2009

Get it? The problem reported is really that commercial cigarettes have non-natural/decomposable filters. Why not make it illegal to use them anywhere? Roll your own with your own choice of ingredients? Pipe smokers return? Cigars? Joints?

control freaks : 12/9/2009

Seems to me these supervisors want to control every aspect of our lives and I'm a liberal and non-smoker. It seems to me that these supervisors are going too far, spay/neuter law, no smoking on beaches, pot shop control, what else???

Pot Heads again : 12/9/2009

The pot head organization that came here from out of town wants to shove their pot smoking crap down everyone who lives here's throat... Granted, this town has 20,000 students at City College, who about 65% are from out of county and about 80% of the student population want / have "medical marijuana" cards...Go get your weed somewhere else! Oh yeah, I' m anti pot and a liberal democrat...!

Get a life

Busybodies : 12/9/2009

Well Dan has shown himself as the type of guy who probably crosses the street to glare at smokers. Why dont you just keep your eye on the road there Danny? Do you talk on your cell when you are out driving around looking for smokers? By the way there is a new report about traffic and its link to cancer so why dont you just stop driving instead of making the rest of us sick with your vehicle emissions?

Daniel Gregory : 12/10/2009

Everyone knows this is ridiculous. This is just the government trying to tell us how to live and how not to live. Well the government is doing to great themselves obviously so why should they tell us that we cant smoke. For info on how to beat the bans and smoke wherever you want visit

BEAT THE BANS!!!

so lame : 12/10/2009

this is such a stupid thing to try to regulate. are we seriously paying taxes to pass this kind of legislation? they can go ahead and put it on the books, but it will never be enforced until it suits the cops to enforce it, like if they want to make up a reason to search you. this country gets less and less free all the time, and horrifying thing is, you have douches all over this comment sections who are all for it! why do you like to be controlled? where does it stop?

you are screwing liberty, wtg.
