18.10.2011 New Jersey Considers New Taxes On Non-cigarette Tobacco Products
Little cigars, which are taking increasing space on area tobacco-shop shelves, are shaped and smoked just like cigarettes.

Shrugs And Objections As Park Smoking Ban Nears

A pack of Newport Red cheap cigarettes at a Midtown convenience store: $11.50. Drum rolling cigarettes (rolling papers included): $13. The cost of getting caught smoking cigarettes in the pedestrian plaza in Times Square: $50.

On Monday, it becomes illegal to smoke cigarettes in many outdoor areas of the city, including parks, beaches, pools, recreation centers and other spaces under the jurisdiction of the Parks and Recreation Department. Pedestrian plazas, too, including the ones in Times Square and Herald Square, are off limits, as is the Coney Island Boardwalk.

The ban is the latest effort by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and some members of the City Council to protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke. In 2002, the mayor was at the forefront of a successful campaign to prohibit smoking cigarettes in bars and bar areas of restaurants. That law went into effect in March 2003. (The city banned smoking cigarettes in most restaurants in 1995. Smoking in other outdoor areas remains legal.)

A 2009 city Health Department study found that 57 percent of nonsmoking cigarettes New York adults had an elevated level of nicotine byproduct in their blood that indicated recent exposure to discount cigarettes smoke. The comparable nationwide figure was 45 percent.

The ban is meant to be primarily self-enforcing, Tara Kiernan, a parks department spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. Parks enforcement officers have the authority to issue summonses, but, when possible, “will educate” violators about the new law, she added.

It is too soon to tell whether sneaking a smoke cigarettes at a beach or a park will join jaywalking and littering as offenses that are seldom enforced, yet on Sunday, many smokers expressed a mix of outrage and resignation.

“It doesn’t bother me, honestly,” said Kim, 37, of Tampa, Fla., who was walking in the Times Square pedestrian plaza on Sunday afternoon and refused to give her last name. “I understand secondhand smoke cigarettes and the concerns about it. I’ll smoke cigarettes somewhere else.” Zoe Rosario, walking with her boyfriend in Cooper Park in Brooklyn, was caught off guard when told of the forthcoming prohibition.

“What?” Ms. Rosario, 22, said. “I’m a smoker and I object!”

Without skipping a beat, Ms. Rosario, of East Williamsburg, pulled out a pack of Camels and said, “I think I’m going to smoke cigarettes now.” She said she smoked about a pack a day.

She said she thought that the city government, and its police, had, once again, overstepped its bounds. “It’s really ridiculous, if you’re a policeman, to spend your time pulling people over in a park,” Ms. Rosario said.

Her boyfriend, Richard Crawford, also of East Williamsburg, a former smoker who still indulges in the occasional cigarette, said he understood the reasoning behind the bans in bars and restaurants. “But outside is ludicrous,” he added.

Still, he joked with Ms. Rosario that he was pleased by the new regulation.

“I can’t drink a beer in the park, and I’m happy that you can’t smoke cigarettes a cigarette,” he said with a laugh. “We’re going to have to lock ourselves in the cellar.”

Then, Mr. Crawford turned to a reporter and said, “That’s exactly why we’re moving to Miami.”
