    No, Californians aren't all crazy,,,, just some who come up with those plans and schemes. This may be old news to Californians but most of us here on the east coast are in the dark about it. It's not that important anyhow. But,,, I'll heed you warning I won't go to CA because the San Andreas fault is due to send half the state in the Pacific. Just kidding.

    The question which remains in my mind (and has never been answered) is ... in comparison to all of the cars (which must meet strict emissions standards), how much CO2 and other pollution do cigarettes blow into the air? (Not to mention all of the pot-heads that live in California...)

    Yes it does, as your lungs don't filter out the smoke if you don't inhale, thus polluting even more. You must inhale to reduce emissions. It's a state law.

    I left CA. in 88'. Best move I ever made. Y'all can keep your traffic, crime, pollution,overpriced housing, etc... MN is a great place to live!!

    I dunno about "great" and up north (2 very snowy winters lately)

    but how about "a lot better."

    I'm amazed that people get used to 12 mph rush hour traffic.
