Sullivan Ordinance

Sullivan Ordinance

The Sullivan Ordinance was a municipal law passed on January 21, 1908 in New York City, New York by the board of aldermen, which barred women from smoking in public. The ordinance was quickly enforced, with Katie Mulcahey being arrested on January 22, but was vetoed by the Mayor, Seth Low, only two weeks later.
