Bloomberg: NY State Parks Outdoor Smoking Ban Overturned...

Had the feeling that New York was pressing for 
a smoke free world a little too fast. While I agree
about banning smoking around public gathering 
places, it's a little pushy to proclaim smokers the
Resident Evils, when it's the Tobacco Companies 
and their enthusiastic marketeers and lobbyers 
who should be punished more than the hapless 
addicted....signs are being removed and it is not 
considered any sort of offense...although I'm sure
we'll have that argument again soon....The case is 
NYC CLASH Inc. vs New York State Office of Parks, 
Recreation & Historic Preservation. 2218/2013 
New York Supreme Court Albany County. 
CLASH stands for Citizens Lobbying Against 
Smoker Harassment...this article by Chris Dolmetsch
