14. Here in CA we don't even allow smoking in bars
and I certainly don't mind it. We also don't allow people to congregate around doors to smoke (because then the smoke blows inside and people have to breathe it on thier way into a business) but that rule gets broken a lot.

I have no desire to regulate acts that don't harm others (I'd be fine with a law like Florida's where those with sufficient insurance to cover thier own cranial splatterage can ride without motorcycle helmets, for example) but nobody should have to breathe the nasty shit that's in cigarette smoke. It's a public health issue.
