This has nothing to do with banning of children smoking in public places. I would hope the parents or guardians would be with them in the restaurants.

Is it a smokers right to throw their butts anywhere they happen to finish them? It is amazing that nearly all smokers don't view butts as trash, as evidenced by the fact that there certainly are plenty in the lake on the streets, etc.

There are already laws on the books for littering. Let's enforce them, not create more laws.
