Bloomberg ends term as public health crusader in NYC
Michael Bloomberg leaves New York City after 12 years with a record as a health policy crusader who attacked smoking fats and sugary drinks. He raised cigarette taxes and banished trans fats, pushed for calorie counts, subsidized health programs, and built a bike centered transit plan while facing court challenges. His measures coincided with declines in adult smoking and rising life expectancy, though some actions faced resistance and a recent court block on sugary drink size restrictions.
