Studies have shown that outdoor tobacco smoke levels can be as high as secondhand smoke levels indoors and there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke

I believe they measured the air quality near some bums smoking in the
Lincoln Tunnel at rush hour on a hot, humid August night.

The mask and false pretense of protecting non smokers from passive smoking is off. They are not even pretending any more.

This is a gubmint social engineering experiment to denormalize smoking and coerce smokers to quit by making their life miserable.

They don’t need a “public health” argument. For example, you can’t walk down the street with an open beer or with assless chaps with your penis hanging out (unless you are in San Fran) But yet it’s the law.

It’s a lib attempt to change cultural norms.

When New York City touted their first non-smoking establishment, breathing the air there was the equivalent of two packs a day.

At least until they cook the numbers, smokers will have the satisfaction of the people there still having all the problems they did before, with no cigarettes to blame it on.

So what are they going to do then? Blame upwind smokers upstate?
