By a vote of 36-12, the New York City Council decided to ban smoking in every one of NYC's 1,700 parks and on the 14 miles of NYC beaches.
As a smoker, I am aware of second hand smoke and the problems which it can cause.
This is about something more important than smoking. It is about the trendy weirdos who take special delight in limiting or eliminating the rights and freedoms of others.
