New York City banned alcohol advertising on city property on Tuesday, citing health risks posed by excessive drinking.
"This order banning alcohol ads from City property reaffirms our commitment to health equity and our stand to protect the well-being of all New Yorkers," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, said in an emailed statement. The deputy mayor for health and human services, Dr. Herminia Palacio, said advertising can influence how much people drink and how young they are when they start.
The city health department says there were more than 110,000 alcohol-related visits to New York City emergency departments in 2016. Nearly 2,000 New Yorkers died that year from alcohol-related causes, including liver disease and driving fatalities.
What’s with all this banning in NY.
Dont u need money? Just tax the people
But you advertise prescription drugs?
He’s trying to turn NYC into an Amish village
gotta make room for that weed why not just standardize packaging put the word poison on it and leave it at that
Is this the same guy who wants to ban hotdogs and other meat?
He didn’t go far enough! New York could use some more booze restrictions! It would certainly make the city safer and cleaner and godly like the good ole days of the 1920s and 30s. Ending the alcohol intake in that city would basically end crime
What a step up for New York. A good example and statement by a politician. I like this.
Yeah that will stop college drinking. What a jerk this guy is. realDonaldTrump MariaBartiromo
