De Blasio Doesn’t Want You Smoking in Your Own Home
Posted By Liz Sheld On June 30, 2015 @ 4:55 am In Politics | 7 Comments
The New York Post has learned that NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is going to “ramp” up the city’s war against smoking…at home.
If you live in New York, here is where you city tax dollars are going:
The administration is planning to select and pay four health-advocacy groups $9,000 apiece to pressure landlords and developers to prohibit smoking in their apartment complexes so neighboring tenants don’t inhale secondhand smoke.
And the result of this campaign is:
…smokers would be barred from lighting up in one of their last sanctuaries: their own living quarters. Smoking is already banned in public places, including bars and restaurants, workplaces, sports venues and parks.
Health department commissars say, “Everyone benefits from smoke-free housing. Residents enjoy breathing cleaner, healthier air in their homes . . . while owners see reductions in property damage and turnover costs.”
So it’s for your own good.
Right now, the initiative is voluntary — but it won’t be for long as these nanny-staters love to micromanage your life. I wonder what other things de Blasio plans to regulate in your own home.

Ah - the health police. The only acceptable form of discrimination by the left.
And the tools will lap it up. It's only smokers, after all. It's for their own good.
de Blasio or whatever name you are going by this week - sod off. My home, I own it, I'll bloody well smoke in it. And my yard. And my car, irrespective of who is in it. The operative word here is mine. So - my choice. Not yours.
I'll smoke in the damned street as well. My taxes pay for it. It's mine.

Clearly, you are racist, bigoted, and in general a misanthrope.
You will not like the new America.

What you do to and with your own body matters to a state which believes it owns it.

It seems that many people have yet to discover what others have long warned about: when the State provides your health care, it can tell you what and what not to do with your body.

I'm glad I don't live in NYC. I might have to take up smoking. *bleah!*

Don't worry about it, folks.
I'm sure they only are talking about -tobacco- smoke.
Not the smoke from "the other stuff"...
