New York City Passes Law to Begin Executing Smokers

NEW YORK CITY – The Mayor and City Council of New York approved a bill earlier this month banning smoking in the city’s 1,700 parks and along its 14 miles of city beaches. But yesterday it was announced that another bill with much harsher repercussions will be signed into law.

On Monday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the City Council passed an ordinance that will allow the NYPD to begin executing cigarette smokers beginning as early as March, 2011. Although most New Yorkers are unconcerned with people smoking cigarettes outdoors, Mayor Bloomberg claims that it is in the best interest of society if well trained NYPD snipers begin systematically executing people who smoke within city limits, including parks and cemeteries.
