I still see a few tourists from overseas who seem bewildered that they have to go outside to smoke.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I don't smoke, either.

I don't miss having clothes that smell like smoke and I know all the health problems with smoking (I don't smoke, btw) but I do think getting rid of smoking in bars changed the vibe of our city. Made it sanitized and less interesting. Along with many of Bloomberg's other "policies."<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering when the rule about no drinking in parks went into effect?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Cathryn<BR/><BR/>p.s.
