Poorly titled. It should say "NYC public outdoor area smoking ban begins."

So if I'm paying for it, with my time, my relationship with my family and children, my physical and mental health, and possibly my life, how is it free?

I'm with you.

Fecking hell....I'm gonna try and give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that was some kind of awkward and poorly thought out attempt at "humor."

Just....wow.

How the fuck do New Yorkers even smell ciggy smoke, over the bus/cab fumes, rotting garbage, and wino piss?

Right?

I love NYC but give me a break.

But people like Ed who are sitting in traffic huffing the fumes and ozone of all the traffic surrounding them (ozone is known to increase odds of lung cancer, Houston 4th worst city) will bitch about catching a whiff of someone's ciggy-butt and will praise this as a life-saving measure.

They could at least not flat out lie about how "deadly" secondhand smoke is. 50,000 deaths a year? Get the fuck out of here.

Wouldn't it be nice if this were just a simple rights issue and not a hotbed of side arguments?
