Farley working already for some months together with the competent authorities on a smoking ban for parks, gardens, beaches and public plazas. This measure contracted by Bloomberg is part of a broad health strategy, on the one hand to protect non-smokers even further to reduce the number of smokers still better. Since 2004 absolute ban on smoking in all New York offices may become inaccessible offices already since the year 2003 in New York City to the cigarette or cigar. At railway stations and public buildings this smoking ban has been implemented consistently. These rules are complied with, the Prohibition of smoking in the workplace is now accepted at the New Yorkers.
