New York smoking ban may be taken outside

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/15/new-york-smoking-ban-outside

Smokers in the "land of the free" are finding themselves increasingly less free to pursue their habit.

New York City officials are the latest to consider banning smoking in their parks and outside spaces – and where the US leads, the UK often follows.

so true, you cant smoke in some places but you cant smoke outside either....whats the point of this? prohibit it once and for all.

Damn, they already pay 2.75 dollars in tax per pack

No, thats exactly what im trying to say, its like you're free to decide whether smoke or not, but you cant do it anywhere, like legalizing drugs but prohibit selling them. thats absurd!!

lolz if smoking was illegal, the government would loose millions in tax a year.

everytime i walk past a smoker i contemplate kicking them in the fucking teeth

 

[BigBen]

Pickle.... i gotta ask why?

Damn, they already pay 2.75 dollars in tax per pack

I read this wrong i thought it said they already pay 2.75 per pack. I was going to say "whre do you live" i need to go buy about 1000 cartons and come back here and make a killing.

big ben, ofcourse id never do it, but as a non smoker having to walk past someone smoking on a walkpath or at the entrance of a mall i just feel violated. I have no trouble with people smoking but it frustrates me to no end when as a non smoker im stuck in a situation where i have to breathe in smokers shit. To me someone smoking near me is like kicking me in the face. Im all for people are free to do whatever they want as long as it doesnt violate another persons freedoms. But smokers deserve a room in every building or something where they can all goto smoke and die and not interfere with non smokers. A smoker smoking in public is just selfish and unconcious.
