Community groups will be sent out to convince landlords and tenants across the city to turn their private buildings into smoke-free zones, according to the documents seen by the New York  Post.

How will they collect their ever rising taxes on cigarettes if they don't allow anyone to smoke?

I could not care less what happens to people in New York City, as long as it doesn't hurt the smooth operation of the stock market.

Bloomberg can outlaw breathing for all I care.

Wow. The figure I put out was the last figure I heard a while back...

I loved NYC when I was there, but the way things are going, and have been for a while, I am really shaky about wanting to live there now.

I think it's $15 in the city and $10 upstate.  This is why I took up vaping. 

Back in the good old days, you couldn't push New Yorkers around.  How they allow this dictator to rule them is beyond me.  I won't touch the city with a thousand foot pole.

I'm curious at what point Bloomberg is supposed to transform into a giant, flaming, all-seeing eyeball atop the Chrysler building...
