Prohibition by a 1000 cuts.


Great Neck Bans Smoking on Public Sidewalks


It should be interesting to see how this is enforced. I can see it now; some Gomer Pyle type of individual chasing a smoker down yelling, "Citizens Arrest! Citizens Arrest!" (Ref: Andy Griffith Show and you get the picture).

Come on - Really? Government is addicted to tobacco tax money but doing everything it can to discourage use. Really?

I can see some poor old man walking down the street smoking his pipe with tobacco he can barely afford due to taxation and some nanny state Nazi would like nothing better to do than hit him with a $1000 fine.

End Rant.
