...when there are youth activities taking place.  That was the decision made by the Travis County Commissioners Court Tuesday.
Some people say they understand this and like the ban.  Others say, this is government over reaching once again.
County officials have not hammered out details like how far you have to be from the field to smoke...and ...if this ban affects just games or practices too. 
What do you think?
See my story for reference.

It was Odd no one mentioned the cigarette butts all over the public parks not to mention all over the roadways around Austin.

They only mention the second hand smoke which really is miniscule compared to the exhaust fumes the giant SUVs the same people who are complaining about the secondary smoke drive to those parks.

I could care less if a person smokes where they smoke or anything about them until I see them throw their cigarette butts or trash out the window of their car or in the park and then they find a side of me that will remind them of the Incredible Hulk.

What I hate even more is the same people that would complain about smokers are usually the ones one would see throwing their trash out the window of their vehicles also.

I wonder if they can even spell or pronounce Hypocrites myself.

Good point rr50...except those people are now trading in their giant good for nothing vehicles because gas is too expensive.

Yeah a friend was asking me if I knew where he could sell his pickup with a giant V8 in it online some place LOL

He said it runs really good and is very powerful so it should sell very fast.

I had a good laugh over that one LOL

My thought was just to take it to car max and take what ever they would give for it now before they start saying they would pick it up for a fee later when they are as worthless as a 286 computer.

People can donate those vehicles to the American Heart Association for a tax deduction at the end of the year if they want.

Trying to sell one now will be extremely hard.

I've always wondered why people find it so convenient to throw out cigarette butts. Oh...I'm a smoker. I use my ashtray in the car and, when I'm out and about, I field strip the cigarette and put the filter in my pocket. Aside from the filter, everything is eminenly biodegradable and, with a little effort (using your foot to mash it up) it breaks up into unnoticable, tiny pieces. It's not really hard. I just think people don't think...kind of like when they vote. :)
