The smoking ban takes effect this Monday in New York City....Oh Happy day!!!!
The law, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed in February after it was passed by the New York City Council, will make smoking illegal in New York City's 1,700 parks and on the city's 14 miles of public beaches.
Smoking will also be prohibited in pedestrian plazas like Times Square.
The ban is designed to help curb exposure to secondhand smoke as well as reduce litter.
If you are caught lighting up in one of the non-smoking areas you will be fined $50.
My lungs thank you Mr. Bloomberg!!!
