It looks like New York might become a big market for electronic cigarettes. Mayor Bloomberg is banning smoking from city beaches and from pedestrian walkways and areas around Times Square...:

Talk about kicking butt in Times Square.
Smokers will not be able to light up when hanging out along pedestrian walkways across the five boroughs, including in car-free areas of Times Square, as part of a broad expansion of the city’s smoking ban to parks, beaches and boardwalks, officials announced today.
The proposed ban means no smoking if you're sitting on the traffic-free Broadway plaza at the Crossroads of the World, in all parts of Central Park or along the famous Coney Island boardwalk.
“The science is clear: Prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke – whether you’re indoors or out -- hurts your health," Mayor Bloomberg said in announcing the widespread ban. "Today, we’re doing something about it."

Mayor Bloomberg has banned and is banning everything he desires.

Why the people in NYC put up with this is beyond me.

Have they become sheep?

Or just asleep?
