Starting today, NY outdoors a no-smoking zone

WASHINGTON: New York City is all set to implement a new law that goes into effect Tuesday, banning smoking outdoors - at beaches, boardwalks, parks, and pedestrian plazas.
The ban is not universally popular. "It's not fair. I'm a smoka. That's my choice. I smoke. It's not gonna make me stop," CBS News quoted a New Yorker as saying.
New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg pushed for the law that aims to drastically reduce exposure to second hand smoke. "I feel like everywhere I go, people are outside smoking. And I have to steer my stroller out of the way of second hand smoke," said Shari Dorfman.
