The end of smoke on the water

[briansnat]

I'm not a cigarette smoker, but I enjoy the occasional cigar or my pipe. I probably do 80 percent of my smoking while fishing. I enjoy lighting up a cigar while out in my boat, or my pipe or a stogie when stream fishing. In addition to the enjoyment, the smoke helps keep the bugs out of my face. Particularly useful when fishing streams.

Well it looks as if those days are over for me and those like me in NJ, at least on public lands. See http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf...d_beaches.html
It hasn't passed the senate or been signed into law, but I see that as a matter of time.

I fail to see how me sparking up in the middle of Round Valley, or along the Big Flat Brook is anybody's business but my own and certainly not that of the state. Statist nannyism run amok. Does anyone else who enjoys the weed while fishing find this to be absurd?
