There's nothing to say in defense of cigarettes. Smoking is
a detestable, dangerous habit — but it's also a legal one, and there is plenty
to say in defense of allowing adults to make bad decisions if they're not
breaking the law or harming others. The University of California should have
taken that into account before UC President Mark G. Yudof announced that all 10
campuses would become smoke- and tobacco-free within two years. As long as
smokers aren't filling others' lungs with second-hand smoke, the university
shouldn't outlaw them…
Sing along with the LAT!
