No smoking campground or section?

All those getting on the "it's my right to smoke", "if it's legal you should be allowed to do it".

How many of you would object to your neighbour lighting up a joint, or doing a bong, in areas it's legal of course?

[edit] For reference I smoke neither and don't really care about others doing either.

Please do remember to vote in the poll above, so that our numbers stay consistent with the opinions of who would or would not stay in a smoking tobacco (or Pot I guess) restricted campground :-).

Thanks!

6 million people die worldwide from smoking. 2.5 million die worldwide from alcohol abuse. Dept. of disease control. I know some will say "fake news".

I don't get all the concern. We all get to die of something.

There's roughly 6 billion people on the planet. If the average life expectancy is 80 years, that means that 75,000,000 a year die of something.

I don't deny your right to smoke but can.t stand when you leave the remnants of your habit everywhere but the trash.

I see it as some smoke in the air or none.
People who would never dream of smoking a cigarette choose to burn wood. Yet wood smoke contains many of the same toxic and carcinogenic substances as cigarette smoke, including benzene, benzo(a)pyrene, and dibenz(a,h)anthracene. And wood smoke produces far more particulate pollution than cigarette smoke does.

We've all been bombarded by statistics for years, that's not the point or issue here.

The issue is people minding their own business and leave law abiding people alone to take care of their business!

If I'm not doing anything illegal or against campground rules then P*SS OFF and leave me ALONE!!!

As volunteers in parks we've picked up thousands of butts to get the campsite ready for the next person. Help out and pick up your butt!
