smoking in parks

Cigarette smokers have been driven from our parks, beaches, boardwalks, bars, restaurants, and automobiles with children on board. Time to bring the hammer down once and for all.

Since the law went into effect prohibiting smokers from lighting up in city parks, pedestrian plazas, boardwalks and beaches, only one smoker has been given a ticket.

The Daily Show's awesome Samantha Bee reported on the NYC parks smoking ban from Union Square park, where she ironically juxtaposed the health-conscious smoking ban against the rather unhealthy realities of the park's "methadone alley."
