New York City has had a strict ban on smoking in many public places like bars, restaurants, workplaces, stores and since 2002, with the addition of parks and public plazas in 2011. But even if that smoke isn’t really smoke, and is vapor from an e-cigarette, well now you can’t do that either, after Mayor Michael Bloomberg helped push a measure through the city council that extends the smoking ban to e-cigs.
The New York City Council passed the measure in a 43-8 vote in the last council meeting of 2013, perfect timing for the outgoing Mayor Bloomberg. If his critics called his a nanny administration before, well, at least he went out with a consistent bang?

Why stop there? How about banning:
1. Screaming babies in restaurants
2. Loud cell phone conversations
3. Fat people in bathing suits
4. Hairy guys in wife-beaters
5. Ugly people
6. Etc., etc., etc....
It won't be long in NYC when it will be illegal to fart, even if you don't mean to.
E cigs and the people that smoke them look really dumb....
