New York City’s outgoing mayor Michael Bloomberg has signed into law a ban on tobacco sales to anyone under 21, raising the age from 18.

It makes the Big Apple the first large city or state in the US to prohibit sales of cigarettes to young adults.

A former smoker himself, the mayor was unrepentant in the face of criticism.

“This century a billion people will die from smoking in the world and we don’t want any of the people that die to be New Yorkers. That’s the one thing we can do,” Bloomberg said.

New York City’s Health Commissioner Thomas Farley backed the move – saying that since more than 80 percent of the city’s smokers start before the age of 21, the ban may stop them from taking up the habit.

I wonder when sex from same race individuals will also be banned as a racist act?

Some may smile at my question but if you look it up is been already suggested to pass as a law along side with the pedophilia law. Dont ask me to post a link I already try to find it when I read that but is been removed. So any one want to search it is good to do his own home work as I will not do it for them.
