Smoking on some New York City sidewalks may soon be prohibited.

City Council member Peter Koo has introduced a bill that would prohibit smoking on all sidewalks controlled by the Department of Transportation and Department of Parks and Recreation.

It would mean no smoking while walking on sidewalks adjoining parks, squares and public places, pedestrian pathways through parks, and parking lots. It does not legislate people standing and smoking on sidewalks, only walking and smoking on sidewalks.
