I was actually being slightly sarcastic.
You are probably correct in your assertation that large numbers of people probably don't move simply because they can't smoke in bars or reataurants.
Give Bloominidiot another term and then we'll talk again.

I also don't believe that smokers, who have access to other ways of buying cigarettes, quit in the numbers given here.

Joe,

I would never suggest the black market isn't booming in NYC, hell the black market is booming for everything in NYC, you get 8 Million+ people together, many of which are immigrants and black market everything is there.

Frankly I know Bloomberg isn't very popular among freepers, general concensus I got was the the people I spoke to in NYC were generally pleased with him and base on that personally I suspect he'll get another term easily.

Not what some NYC citizens want to hear, but I'm sure many NYC citizens didn't want to hear the obvious when Rudi was shoe in for reelection either.
