New York City Considering Sidewalk Smoking Ban
A bill will be introduced later today that could make it illegal to walk and smoke at the same time in New York City.
Councilman Peter Koo, D-Queens, will introduce a bill that would make it a misdemeanor to smoke and walk at the same time. It doesn’t appear Koo’s bill will make it illegal to simply smoke on a sidewalk.
New York City banned smoking in public parks in 2011.
