I would be all for it. I am so sick of walking and suddenly inhaling someone's disgusting cigarette smoke in Manhattan. A lot of these people are transplants and tourists from Europe who still think that we're living in the damn 70s when smoking cigarettes was supposedly trendy. If you want to die of lung cancer, go right on ahead, but I don't want to inhale your second hand smoke.
I agree. And they usually walk soooooo slow. I try to walk around them but it's torture if you can't & you're stuck behind them.

QFT.
I have a huge pet peeve about this! I can stand when some jerk is in front of me puffing away. It’s disgusting and annoying. I also hate when they smoke in front my office building. There’s a huge sign that says “no smoking in front of the building”, yet they line up multiple times a day. Puffing away and complaining about how crappy their job is.
To all smokers: Please just kill yourself in private and don’t put the rest of us at risk.
How about a law against waking and using a cell at the same time?
If i had a dollar for everytime some moron alnost walks into me becsuse they're too busy on their phone I'd buy up all of thr property in Bedstuy and Williamsburg & evict every yuppy. One time i was going up an escalator and when i get to the top this dumb girl almost walks into me and then doesn't even try to go around to the side going down after she realizes what's going on, just walks in another direction and keeps texting.
I wish someone would walk into me and drop their phone and crack it. I'd smile and wall away. People who walk/text without paying attention make my blood boil!
It's as bad a dirty tailpipe. They should ban public smoking unless the companies can create a filter for their smoke. I don't care if people are nicotine addicts but smoke is harmful to the public and it's a bad byproduct.
This is just dumb. How are they going to enforce this? How many people have been actually ticketed for smikoing indoors? And doesn't the fire department issue these tickets?
So everyone is for big brother beating down on the little man, what is happening to this good city of ours? Everyone going P!
I am tired of this cry baby crap that wants everyone walking around like frigging squares.
So, I Gotta have a horn and lights on my bicycle, get my bag checked to go in the subway, go 50 feet away from buildings to smoke, can't have a beer at the park, can't wish a pretty lady a nice day, put my bag on the subway seat,...
But I can walk the streets topless, have Maryanne in my pocket, drink wine in the park listening to jazz music, get 6 beers at the US open, with no dewi checkpoints. I can use any bathroom I choose, among other things.

Who the hell is Maryanne?
The US Open is fun! They even have Moet vending machines!

The other thing they do now is line up by the office buildings, hide in doorways or stand in the street just off of the sidewalk, which means non-smokers at times have no place to go to not breathe that crap.
Smokers are so ignorant to think that it's okay because it's outdoors. It isn't. That cigarette smoke lingers in the air, sometimes well after the person who was smoking has left the area. Now with these idiots vaping the clouds of smoke can be crazy. They just blow their smoke all over the place. I was on 3rd Avenue the other night. This guy hails a cab, is vaping and then blows out a huge cloud of smoke before getting in, keeping his e-cig lit while getting in the taxi.
