Lol. That made me chuckleI would rather a bum pick my butt off the ground and reroll it than have them constantly asking me for smokes. Tossing butts is just fine as long as you don't smoke them down to the filter.

Tell that to the poor b*st*rd that lost his house to the fire started by a butt tossed out the car window into the grass by the highway. I don't think the fine is high enough nor enforced enough.I would rather a bum pick my butt off the ground and reroll it than have them constantly asking me for smokes.

I don't think campsites are an issue except maybe at the private ones where they cram you in like sardines. But at a park in the picnic table areas they are pretty close together and often busy.How crowded is the campsite you are at if the smoke bothers you from the next guy over??? I don't smoke but that sounds a little extreme.....

ps While they are at it maybe they could go after the drive thru container tossers as well.
I wish that was true with farts, lolI've just reading about cigarette smoke and 1-2 m away from a smoker the cigarette smoke has diluted 75% out doors. And they say 7m away from a smoker and there would be no chance of any inhalation of smoke.
could put a hundred smokers in a room and it would take them years to die from the smoke , put one car in a garage and lock yourself in there with it and you'll last about 10-15 minutes but yet it's ok to let your vehicle run while waiting to pick your kid up from school ? People need to get their priorities straight and stop feeding the cash cow , just more laws to take away all our freedom and rights ! What's next alcohol ? in my opinion it causes way more harm than cigarettes do in more ways than I can list. and that's my 5 cents kuz there are no more pennies for 2 cents !
I think smokers have rights and I dont smoke, outdoors in parks who cares...in front high traffic doors, maybe not...and cig butts, throw them in the appropriate container.
It is a tough one. The butt problem is easy if the smokers would realize it. Sort of like the OHV recreationalists busting up the land.
The other part of the right to smoke is a huge issue. Before it is settled, I would hope that some common sense would prevail. Then again, we know what has happened to common sense these days.

the funny part is... walk into downtown Vancouver and you'll see people openly smoking pot...cops don't care.... now your telling me a cop is going to right a guy a ticket for smoking a full taxes paid cigarette mean while the pot smoker walks buy and no one says a thing... LMFAO
Yeah thats an oranges to oranges comparison... Kinda like comparing a gun to a knife, chemically speaking... They will both kill you, only one has the ability to be a lot faster
The interesting part of the whole thing is that there are almost MILLIONS of studies showing that smoking kills. Yet people continue to do it, so we'll fine smokers for littering to offset the cost that smokers are causing our healthcare system. But hey some people like to be takers... Personally i think that if you smoke you forfeit your right to free healthcare... after all It was your choice to smoke why should I have to pay for it?
Uh I pay for my Health Care in the form of TAXES and lots of them. Maybe you guys dont?
Uh your taxes no matter what you pay doesn't come close to covering your health care
We all pay a portion with taxes but I don't think it is anywhere near the actual total.
Brother in law got sick in the states with no insurance. 3 days bill was near 15g
Your families company pays not you
Govt subsidizes health care through both taxes and exports of goods and services I.e oil pays in Alberta, trees in bc, gas in Sask and a combination of the three support the rest of Canada as well.
Must be a pretty big company to pay 100g a month in taxes that would be grossing around a half mil a month not bad
