Smoking was banned in New York's restaurants, bars and clubs in 2003, but that didn't stop a host of celebrity smokers from sparking up inside the Met Gala. Stars including Bella Hadid, Dakota Johnson and Frances Bean Cobain threw caution to the wind as they rebelliously lit up indoors while taking a break from the circus of the evening's fashionable festivities.

Laws are for little people. Just like a bunch of high schoolers.

I don’t mind them flouting this unconstitutional nanny-state Bloomberg law. Europeans smoke. That’s one of the reasons they’re skinnier than we are.

Courtney Love looks like something out of a horror movie in those pictures. Way too much plastic surgery.

I agree with you. People should light up in public just on general principles. Rolling over for the nanny-state only guarantees more intrusion into your life. The nannies of the world have an insatiable appetite for control; the mere fact that you live without their permission offends them.

Men and women smoking together is the same public bathroom!

We don’t know if it’s the Men’s bathroom or the Women’s bathroom but we know they are all in the same bathroom!

As far as tobacco smoking, the nanny state is operative in all U.S. states and many countries. I fondly remember flying commercial when you could light up a few seconds after wheels-up. Nowadays, few countries are civilized enough to even have a smoking area inside a terminal. I’m told that Israel has them.

I am micro-aggressed by this great outrage. I just expected so much more from celebrities, luckily my fainting couch was within staggering distance.

If we didn’t have a fool for a mayor, he’d demand each of these clowns be sent a citation and ordered to appear in court.

Just like what happens when the little people are caught smoking

Progressivism is a great racket.

It creates all the micro-management, abuses and dysfunction which allow a whole new generation of avant garde social activists to protest the absurdity, poverty and social destruction created earlier by their predecessors.

For people like me who have asthma, non-smoking laws allow us to live like normal human beings. Before these laws were passed, we couldn’t go to restaurants, bars, or anywhere that people were smoking. We couldn’t get jobs at places like that, either. Talk about infringing on people’s freedom!

These laws have given people with similar health conditions the chance to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That’s not a “nanny state”—that’s a guarantee of freedom for all people, not just the ones in good health.

Before you say that it infringes on a smoker’s “freedom”...cigarette smoke doesn’t stay on one place, it infringes on other people’s freedom to breathe clean air. Nobody has the “freedom” to make another person sick. There’s a big difference between a medical condition that can’t be helped, and the immature inability not to go for a few hours without sucking on a smoldering pacifier. If someone’s stupid enough to engage in a habit that will result in COPD or lung cancer, do it at home—quit trying to drag the rest of us to the oncology ward with you.

Atlanta has smoking rooms inside the terminals, as does Salt Lake City.
