New York City's Public Smoking Law goes into effect Today!! It was in early February where our Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a bill into law prohibiting public smoking in parks, beaches, board walks and pedestrian plazas. Violators who get caught puffing in public could be fined $50!
This Newly passed Law is expected to improve the quality of life for New Yorkers; protecting them against the dangerous effects of secondhand smoke. The city will be flushed with "no smoking" signs to keep public areas smoke free. This "no smoking" campaign will frustrate a few and cause many people to quit the nicotine puffing habit.
One time for your Mind: For years the Tobacco Industry has made Billions of Dollars, advertising their products to adults and youth; gaining new addicts daily. Many people have become addicted to Nicotine and struggle with their habit. Is it fair to suddenly band what they tried so hard to shove down our throats??!! I am not a smoker nor have ever been one. I just think that this whole situation is a little hypocritical. What do you think people?? Is the City infringing on our rights as individuals? Or are you fine with the new "no smoking" ban??

I think it is good that you wrote about this. It is an unfair ban. I think soon they will make smoking illegal altogether.
ReplyDeletePeople do have the write to smoke if they chose to The should be able to smoke in public places as long as it is not affecting the next person. This is just another way for the City to get money from people. It all bout the MONEY!
