Unless it's the cops doing the smoking..

Summation... smoking will eventually stop on the railroad platforms.

Disclaimer, this is not a legal representaion, just sage advice coming from an old time New Yorker.
Yankee Stadium is a private institution. Just like 6 Flags, who made a concerted effort to stop smoking. Unless the government, cops... make that same concerted effort. Comparing government institution to private institution is comparing apples and oranges.
