New York City outdoor smoking ban - Scottishbloke - 23-05-2011 21:16 As a smoker myself if I lived in New York I would be outraged, it's bad enough that you aren't even allowed to light up anymore in a pub but to ban smoking outside this is nothing short of a disgrace, this is exactly what Nazi Germany did in the 30's, your thoughts please. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/US/05/23/new.york.smoking.ban/index.html?eref=igoogledmn_topstories RE: New York City outdoor smoking ban - bombshell - 24-05-2011 08:09 I am probally your worst enemy,i gave up on 12th Jan 2010,i have saved £1,500 since,and i feel much healthier. I can see why you would feel as you do,but i think like all new laws after a couple of years it will just be accepted as the norm. RE: New York City outdoor smoking ban - bcl - 24-05-2011 08:23 I don't smoke, and really appreciate the ban in pubs, makes my nights out much more enjoyable. But bans outside, that is plainly ridiculous. There is a balance between the health of others and the rights of an individual. If someone is smoking outside, stand upwind of them, not very difficult is it.

Also a light smoker and happy to report there are lots of ways around these laws - "Cigar Bars" continue to prosper and are even busier than ever. So - if you're a smoker and want to visit NYC - fear not: just ask your cabby to take you to a "Cigar Bar" and you can enjoy your favourite tipple - and a fag if you have a mind... P.S. Cigar Bars do sell cigars if that's your thing - not mine I'm afraid.

Actually, ours isn't much better these days - about 1/4 I believe. |
