The nanny-staters are at work on the Raleigh city council.

By this fall, it will be illegal to smoke in downtown’s Moore Square Station; transit stops at Triangle Town Center and Crabtree Valley Mall; and at the south Raleigh bus transfer area at Wilmington Street and Pecan Road.

The ban applies within 25 feet of boarding locations.

So how long before Raleigh’s’ nanny-staters decide to follow Nanny Bloomberg’s rule and ban the sale of large sugary sodas?
