smoking banned in NYC parks

interesting article re banning smoking in NYC parks - http://community.nytimes.com/comments/www.nytimes.com/2011/05/06/opinion/06siegel.html

the author says that the ban was put in place because of 2nd hand smoke, not litter...although we all know that the litter is as if not more serious (and less controversial!)
