"The measures could be a tall order for cities in some countries where smoking is more accepted. While New York’s restaurants, parks and beaches are smoke-free, we at the Health Blog found ourselves exposed to some serious secondhand smoke on the sidewalks around the U.N. this week, as visiting delegates, their staffs, and journalists squeezed in plenty of puffs between meetings. Smoking is allowed on city streets, though “we discourage it,” Farley says of the haze. Still, he notes, New York’s experience shows “we can reduce smoking rates.”"
Hypocrites.
