I'm glad this rule exists but I hope it's not strictly enforced. Its good to stop the big offenders but let small things slide

Good, this is just common sense.

It'll be interesting to see how strongly this is enforced. The city has been doing a terrible job at enforcing other laws (speeding, stopping on red, texting while driving).

I don't think you understand the role of government

Ever increasingly it is to systematically strip us of our freedom. You just don't mind having morality and health decisions, that should be yours to make, legislated for you.

You want to harm or even kill yourself? Fine go ahead I don't care.

Smoking doesn't harm only you it also harms those around you.
