Nanny State knows best. In New York State it's getting to the point that the only place you'll be allowed to light up is inside your home. They don't want you to smoke and treat you like a leper, but they'll gladly collect & spend the taxes collected on tobacco. Can't smoke outdoors in many state/county parks, but second hand barbeque smoke is okay. If I was a smoker I'd petition to ban all outdoor grilling in parks due to that evil barbeque smoke. In fact due to the budget crisis and all the wear & tear from people using the parks...I'd petition to ban people from the parks too.
