Now
New York wants to follow the example of California in banning smoking in bars. The US is fighting a war that is claimed to be in defence of western values. There's not much point in attempting to spread freedom abroad while wiping it out at home. As a New Yorker said:

He is quite right. Smoking policies should be decided solely by property owners and not by the state. Bring back American freedoms.
