The City Council introduced a bill to ban smoking from many public spaces including parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas. "Inside City Hall" hosted a debate on Thursday on the issue which included supporters of the proposed ban, Manhattan City Councilwoman Gale Brewer and the city's Health Commissioner Doctor Thomas Farley; and opponents David Schwartz, a lawyer and lobbyist for tobacco retailers, and Queens City Councilman Eric Ulrich.

  • I hate cigarettes, but to tell someone not to smoke is fucking absurd. I find it funny how Gale talks about health and yet she looks like shit and has been snaking on a couple McDonald Cheeseburgers. Cigarettes is a personal issue and not a government issue. If you want to fuck yourself up with cigarettes go for it. I hate governments telling you what you can and not do about personal choice.

  • thank god smokers will no longer be allowed to spoil people's enjoyment of the traffic fumes in times square.

  • That lady, and that man, must've just graduated Middle School. They just simply lied to everyone. Making up facts, and this so called "evidence" that never existed. Since the 30's we've been trying to test SHTS, and even with shitty manufactured cigarette they have absolutely zip. The man/woman that finds the report that backs these people up will be a trillionare. That's how much of a joke this is. New York is lied to straight on and they like it. Pathetic human beings.. I'm ashamed..
