47. I'm very excited about it.
It was a HUGE shock to move from FL, with its clean indoor air act, to TN, with its smoke anywhere rules. I was shocked to find the cashiers at gas stations smoking while they ran my credit card. They sell pizza at the same gas stations, just a few feet away from the smoking cashiers. :puke:

Sorry, but smoking isn't like eating sugar. It pollutes the air for everyone around you. For people with breathing problems, smoke makes it even harder to breathe.

I have no problem with a person's choice to smoke, although I think it's a stupid choice. One of my best friends died from emphysema last year. He knew the smoking killed him. But he never imposed his smoking on anyone else and didn't care if he had to go outside. It was HIS habit, not everyone else's.
