New York City will be stretching the ban on smoking to parks, beaches, marinas, boardwalks and pedestrian plazas under the released by laws, which has been gained support of Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council leaders.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Council Speaker Christine Quinn with other authorities of the American Cancer Society said that the bill of Smoke Free Air Act, a 2002 law will forbid individuals to smoke in areas such as offices, bars, restaurants and playgrounds in order to avoid the secondhand smoking affects.

A report by city Health Department survey in 2008 claimed of the measures which aided to curb on cigarette smoking in case of teenagers by 50%.

The September 2009 reports suggests that anti- smoking measures have cut down the smoking to nearly 15.8 percent of the city population in 2009, from 21.7 percent in three years before one took a position in 2002.

NY City Health Commissioner Thomas Farley said, “Cigarettes kill some 7,500 New Yorkers every year, and thousands more suffer smoking-related strokes, heart attacks, lung diseases and cancers. By expanding the act to cover parks and beaches, we can reduce the toll even further.”

The people who refuse to abide by the law will be facing a fine of $50, said Jessica Scaperotti, a representative for the mayor.
