Gotta agree AZ is OK, but unless you're somewhere with a
"grandfathered" smoking lounge, you're out of luck smoking
anywhere inside. Of course you can smoke at home, like me.
And don't forget, there's plenty of places in AZ where you don't
have to live in the kiln that is Phoenix/Tucson area. Just head
for the mountains. I live a mile high & no unbearable summers.
That said, we DO have winter, though, including snow.
As a former NYer myself, I'd say it's a far better place to live
than NYC.
