New York may ban smoking in parks

By musiclover - Wed Sep 15, 4:25 pm

New York City is pursuing a tough new policy which would keep smokers out of public parks, beaches and even the heart of Times Square – one of the most ambitious outdoor anti-tobacco efforts in the nation.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration and city politicians announced today that they will pursue a broad extension of the city’s smoking ban to 1,700 parks and 14 miles of public beaches, plus boardwalks, marinas and pedestrian plazas.
