Soon, smoking will be banned in many public places in Manhattan.

Tonight, voters in the Little Apple approved a smoking ban.

57 percent of voters said yes.

This summer, the Manhattan city commission decided to put it to a vote.

And supporters of the ban say they fought hard against misinformation in the campaign.

"They saw through all of the stories from the other side and finally what the city commission didn't do and what hasn't happened until now, the voters passed this ordinance...Very exciting," ban proponent David Seay said.

This is an issue the Manhattan city commission refused to decide three times.

That last time, they decided to put it on the ballot.

The ban goes into effect in 60 days.
