[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Nanny State PING!

[Sacajaweau]

And wait until they totally take away your soda and snacks and fries and force feed us fish pills and kelp.

[swain_forkbeard]

Where CAN you smoke then? Really.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Straining at gnats and swallowing camels, Scribes, Pharisees, Hypocrites! Then these governmental clowns wonder why they are becoming increasingly hated. They worry about smoking outside and their City and State are going bankrupt.

my pre-written response to all things Bloomberg:

Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemy’s first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult.. © Vaquero 2010-2011

These prople are insane.

[YankeeReb]

I don't smoke, never have and find it disgusting. That being said, it shows what a little Napoleon we have in Bloomy as mayor. First it was just no smoking in offices, then restaurants, then bars now not even outside!!! Add to that the trans fat regs, the salt regs and the mandated calorie posting on any menu item. Oh, and lets not forget that term limits were ignored just so he could have a third term as mayor.

Yeah, Bloomy for President!!! God help us if that happens. In fact, I'm a little leery of Guilanni because he basically put the billionaire dictator into office.

[Seruzawa]

Just like Nazi Germany!

[Repeal 16-17]

Hell, the 18th Amendment worked so well. Didn’t it?

"When this legislation is passed, all New Yorkers will be able to enjoy a walk in the park or a day at the beach"

Except, of course, if you're a smoker...

However, public sex by faggots and dykes will be considered "Personal Freedom", and protected from prosecution.

[Prokopton]

When this legislation is passed, all New Yorkers will be able to enjoy a walk in the park or a day at the beach without having to inhale secondhand smoke,

I have walked past members of certain religious/ethnic groups on the streets of New York whose strong odor made my eyes water. A whiff of cigarette smoke would have been much more desirable.

This is the inevitable endgame of socialism. Micromanaging and limiting your choices. Remember this when the leftists say 'it's only temporary' or 'it won't affect you'. Sooner or later, it will. It always does.

[dagogo redux]

Th idiots who choose to live in NYC - and yes, it IS a choice, just like voting for the mayor and council there is a choice - get what they deserve. Fagettaboudit.

[unixfox]

I remember when people would simply say...

Oh that would NEVER happen here.

[CSM]

“there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke”

In that case I hope that they include BBQ grills, candles and brun barrels.

[swarthyguy]

Das Gut. Wunderbar.

Even the sight of a smoker has led to children and sensitive adults experiencing trauma for years.
