The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recently mailed posters to the premium tobacconists of New York, mandating their placement “where tobacco is sold.” Well in a tobacco shop, that's everywhere. The significant point is that these are not just your standard “Stop Smoking” posters.
They are graphic (and large) depictions of decayed lungs and teeth. Their very nature, shall we say, does not mesh with the décor and ambiance of some of the world's great cigar shops that you can find in New York City .
In addition, there is a $2,000 fine for failing to post these “informational pieces,” as noted in a letter from Health Commissioner Thomas Farley.
The exact same New York Department of Health just spent $32,000 to print 70,000 sixteen-page "How-To" guides on the safety procedures of using...heroin!
(Above, you can see the poster comparison).
