I wouldn't call 54% an "overwhelming majority".

Yay for no smoking indoors, and in parks (totally ruined in Japan by smokers) and beaches.

Just visited USA...looks like far too many people have super sized with no control.

there's a ban on smoking in bars here. All it did was ruin the smaller bars and pubs more or less. There's a lot less than there used to be. Shouldn't it be up to the owner of the establishment to decide that?

@mrmalice

It's not a ban on smoking in bars specifically, it's a ban on smoking in public spaces. So no, it absolutely shouldn't be up to the owner of the establishment to decide anything.

Do the hospitals give free medication as well as free formula? How wonderful of them to give free formula which will encourage most mothers to use that brand. Mothers milk can not be duplicated. Everything big business does it does to get richer.

Shouldn't the title read '701 New Yorkers against super-size soda ban'? Hardly a mass rally.

The infant formula issue is precisely one that developing countries are battling - big business, like any drug dealer or tobacconist, marketing to the impressionable, the uninformed and the lazy.

Sorry that somebody put a damper on your oral carcinogenic fixation while watching MLB beefcake.

Are you upset at the liberal writers on the show Sex and the City? How do you know the writers even live in NYC?
