Quick question for all of you in NYC. Can you still smoke in public places, or did it get banned. I have been living in Tokyo for the past 3 years, and I am sure alot has changed. I am coming home soon, and want to know how much tabacco I should bring.

Thanks

it's banned

Banned completely,except at the few remaining cigar bars. But it is always welcome at my house. Big tv,surround sound,and no cover charge.

To quote the great Groucho Marx when he was asked by his wife to quit smoking cigars at home: "No,but we can remain good friends."

...New York smoking ban, a monument to a once proud moxy public duped and intimidated by liberals and their political correctness crap...it's truly amazing..

OK Coolburn, so it's round at your place on my next trip....lol
Shame NYC's a great city

Well said Raoul.......agree 100%

It depends on what you mean by a public place.

You can still smoke out in Central Park, but not Bryant Park.

I used to smoke at Gramercy Park when Mayor Guillani lived in Gracie Mansion, but now that Mayor Bloomburg is in office I think he would be offended if I smoked in his back yard.

Wow, that is something I never thought about, Bryant Park. It is small indeed. But if I were to light up and walk through Bryant Park, I would be introducing myself to trouble?

Madness!

It's a shame I can afford a cigar bar, once in a Blue Moon.
