No More Smoking In N.Y. Businesses
State Law Tougher Than Upcoming NYC Law
Posted: 3:13 p.m. EST March 27, 2003
ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York has joined California and Delaware as the only states to ban smoking in virtually all businesses.
Legislation signed by Gov. George Pataki ends smoking in most places that had still allowed it -- bars, certain restaurants, betting parlors, bowling alleys, pool halls and even in company cars.
Exemptions include private residences, personal cars, Indian casinos and New York City cigar bars already registered.
The statewide measure is even tougher than a separate smoking ban due to go into effect in New York City. That measure allows smoking rooms in restaurants and bars equipped with special ventilation.
The law sets a $1,000 penalty for violations.

Well said. Of course, you STILL have all of these so called "conservatives" who state that we NEED Pataki to counterbalance Shillary. Of course, we need not take seriously such people who fail to realize that Pataki is taking us as far to the left as Cuomo ever would.
I miss having Jeb Bush as my Governor.

Not really, those of us who still insist on living here refer to it as The Peoples Republic of New York.
Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Seriously, the state deficit is in the billions, and this is where the politicans' priorities are.

Disgusting.
I'm tempted to FReep this report form website...I can think of one restauranteur who vocally supported the ban -- even going so far as to appear in radio ads. I think maybe I'll report HIS restaurant. Over and over and over and over...
