The spokesperson for Cs Xàbia, Enrique Escrivá, proposed, in the plenary session of the month of May, that from the Javea Town Hall a pilot experience is undertaken enabling one of the municipality's beaches as a 'smoke-free space'; "An initiative that has been launched in 53 municipalities in the Community, so it should not be so difficult to start it," said the mayor.
As Escrivá explained, with this pilot experience, it would be, on the one hand, “To begin to dissuade, in this way, the users of any of the Xàbia beaches to consume tobacco, thinking that the beaches are a
leisure environment, where there is usually a large presence of minors ”.
In addition, Escrivá indicated that “if we start to enable smoke-free beaches, the awareness-raising work will also serve the youngest, contributing to the denormalization of tobacco consumption and with this measure we will continue to take a further step in terms of sustainability. and cleaning our beaches since many cigarette butts still end up in the sand, between the rocks or in the sea ”.
From the government team, both the Mayor of Xàbia as the councilor for services indicated that at the moment there is no action that contemplates this initiative. Likewise, Kika Mata, explained that the line to follow "is to raise awareness and not prohibit."
Mata said that this summer he will continue the campaign promoted by the Rotary Club to distribute ashtrays to bathers to prevent them from depositing the cigarette butt in the sand or between the stones, "although last year's assessment was that the problem is more than smokers who are on the promenade who throw their cigarette butts into the sand, that of the bathers themselves who spend the day on the beach, "said the mayor.
I propose a beach for origami lovers.
I do not understand why there is no Municipal Association.
We demand from the City Council its own Council, with several offices and allowances, many allowances, we are the same as others, enough to put up with this fascism!
Sounds good to me. And it would also be necessary to enable another one free of imbeciles, that there are more than butts.
A few years ago I was participating in a cleaning with the Hiking Center in the part of La Caleta and I was surprised, I could not imagine, the amount of cigarette butts that were in the whole area. In each hole in the rocks there were several crushed butts, when you put out your cigarette. Incredible, outrageous. In that area Yes, smoking would be prohibited. And in the others place ashtrays.
A beach for non-nudists would also be good, where children and adults do not have to see parts of the body of people that we neither want nor desire.
I agree, I'm tired of everyone confusing freedom with debauchery
