IT'S OKAY TO SMOKE IN NEW YORK CITY BARS...

            "IT'S OKAY TO SMOKE IN NEW YORK BARS," stated Earl R. Stonebridge. "From what I have heard, it is against the mayoral policy and some weird local ordinances that are unconstitutional, but you might be arrested. Neverthelss, when I am in New York, I light up and smoke; I smoked there in the 60s and there's not one bona-fide reason why one can't smoke there now," Earl concluded in an informal press conference with TYME Magazine. Thanks to Earl for his OPINION PIECE--and thanks to TYME Magazine for coveriing his every word.

 For those contemplating lighting up in your favorite New York City watering hole and pub, you might want to check with the proprietor and find out if this highly unlikely rumor that smoking is, indeed, outlawed in bars in the Big Apple is true. I find it hard to believe, but check first and do not take Earl's word as the final gospel on lighting up.
