Oh goodness, does this bring up mixed feelings for me.

I don’t see how it would be enforceable (NYPD is already stretched thinly as it is), but it would be great to walk down the street and not get a face full of nicotine blowback from the person walking in front of me.
 
Other countries do this…Japan, I think? They only allow smoking indoors.

I think it would be highly challenged in court…however the court of public opinion may “enforce” this law more than the cops even if it was repealed.
 
This is ridiculous, just make smoking illegal already. I’m a smoker, but this slow movement to the eventuality of cigarettes being illegal is annoying to me. Just make cigarettes prescription only, so that people with the addiction can ween off slowly or quit in their own time.
 
So in NYC, if you stop and smoke a cigarette it is OK? And I imagine the police will love this. Can’t you see a cop taking ten minutes to write someone a ticket for jaysmoking while a bank is being robbed 3 blocks away. Will the liberals ever go away, or at least mind their own business?
