[Goanet]No smoking on beaches?

[Cecil Pinto]

I'm not quite aware of Anti-Smoking laws in other countries. Can anyone let 
me know if there's a law in any other country that bans smoking on the 
beach. I'm not talking about 'public spaces' in general. Is there any 
country in the world where one is not allowed to spoke in an open airy 
windy area like a beach, where there's no remote possibility of your 
second-hand smoke doing any damage?

Hi there,

This was forwarded to me by a freind , and I couldnt believe what I was 
reading
about "No smoking on the beach!"

I am a regular visitor to Goa from the UK, and this was forwarded to me by a
British freind who lives in Goa.
Could you please tell me where I can find out about this, as I am supposed 
to be
visiting Goa again in February 2004, and this may make me change my plans, 
and a
lot of my freinds who will be joining me!

Thanking you for your help

Sandy Horsley
