VIDEO: The Positives of the LIRR Smoking Ban

Two weeks after the ban takes effect, we take a look at the positive side of restricting smoking on LIRR platforms.

Commuters waiting on the platforms may hear the familar voices of celebrities like Joe Namath, Mike Lupica and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps reminding riders they can no longer smoke on the train platforms.

The smoking ban went into effect November 13.

Do you agree with the ban or do you think it was unnecessary? Are you a smoker who wants to sound off on the topic? Are you a non-smoker who supports the ban? Vote in our poll below and give us your opinions in the comment section.
