Smoking Rate - and Smokers - Plummet

by Deborah on April 28th, 2008 · No Comments ·

The Daily News reports that “a 34-year-old woman smoking a cigarette out of a window in midtown lost her balance and plunged four stories - but survived.

Sadly, they missed the opportunity to use the headline: New York City smoking rate - and smokers - plummet! (1)

But as long as I was reading the Daily News (something I normally don’t do), I thought I’d poke around and see what else it had to offer. lad I did - ’cause otherwise, I’d have missed the news about Scott’s Pizza Tour. The paper reports that “Each Sunday, Scott’s Pizza Tour will sample the slices at a half-dozen of the city’s famed pie palaces like John’s in Greenwich Village and Totonno’s in Coney Island.” Sign me up!


(1) I tried not to laugh, honest. And if she’d been hurt or killed obviously I wouldn’t have. But come on - it practically writes itself.
