NYC to try banning smoking in parks and beaches
2010-09-16
[Jerusalem Post] New York City officials announced new legislation on Wednesday that would further oppress the populace by outlawing smoking in parks, beaches, marinas, boardwalks and pedestrian plazas throughout the city.

Violators could be executed issued quality-of-life summonses by the parks department.

Mayor Michael NannyBloomberg has said in the past he was skeptical the city could pass such an expansive smoking ban. But the staunchly anti-tobacco mayor said in July he was waiting for a final city report on the idea.

The City Council legislation will require hearings before the full 51-member body can vote. Other states and cities nationwide have similar bans in parks and beaches.
