Never Forget: 5-23-11
That’s the day New York City’s character dies and the outdoor smoking ban takes effect. Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg signed the bill passed by the City Council that essentially makes it illegal for smokers to light up anywhere but their apartments and sidewalks. The Parks Department will enforce the law as the NYPD is way too busy detaining over 600,000 people a year to be bothered… for now.

Editor-in-Chief:
Yellow teeth and emphysema are NOT defining parts of New York's character.
Smoking stopped being cool some time around 1964.
Deal with it.
Word. If you want to be crazy and not giving a fuck in a cool way start gang-banging. Cigarettes are fucking lame. And now I want a Newport. Fuck you.
