John -
You may have missed the news flashes over the last few years, but New
York suffered a bombing a few years ago at the World Trade Center and tourism has
been down in the area ever since -- just like it has been around the rest of
the country.

<< As for the figures for NYC, can those increases only
be attributed to the ban? As noted, NYC is a city
that is heavily based on tourism. How were the
tourism numbers during the years before and after the
ban? Wouldn't it be logical that more people visiting
NYC would increase revenues as well, ban or no ban? I
don't have those numbers and don't have time to find
them but it is something to consider among a whole
host of other things such as the tax increase levied
on cigs as well. >>
