On Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation designed to protect children from the dangers of secondhand smoke.
The bill prohibits smoking in facilities that provide child care services, including private homes that provide child services, such as a day care."The dangers of secondhand smoke are indisputable and we must do everything in our power to protect children from this public health hazard and the life-long misery that comes with it," Cuomo said. "This measure will bring us one step closer to a strong, healthier New York for all."
This adds to existing legislation that prohibits smoking near schools and where after-school programs are held, as well as a ban on electronic cigarettes on all public and private school grounds across the state.
Comment: The 'dangers of secondhand smoke' is a myth based on junk science. See:
Your fascist insistence on running stories praising alcohol, smoking and meat consumption, (viz. your "fascist junk science" comments above) and insulting those who disagree, has already cost you many viewers - haven't you noticed how few comments you get any more, from your half-dozen loyalists and nobody else? You used to get 50+ comments on some stories - no longer. Does Laura know what you people are up to, or doesn't she care about politics and SOTT any more?
I encourage you with great enthusiasm and sincerity to eat nothing but meat, never to be without a cigarette in your hand, and to drink at least 10 Guinnesses and 6 Irish whiskies each night. This way, you will soon pass on to your well-earned reward, and leave SOTT to more impartial editors.
