Because tobacco addiction is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in New York City...

That was enough for me (I don't know if the air in the city is any cleaner than it was when I was there, but at least my cigarette smoke was filtered!)

But I read on....tobacco nazi, fat lord, prophylactic passer, Spanish speaker, and all around politically correct type...whatta resumee!

If the SHTF, will a political appointee be able to get the job done?

They're lying to you about preventable deaths

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080109104254.htm

2006 NYC smoking-related deaths = ~9000

2005 NYC abortions = ~90,000

I don't have any reason to think abortions dropped dramatically between 2005 and 2006 (they dropped just 3% between 2004 and 2005)
