Interesting dilemma.

NYC just banned smoking in most public places. I am really happy about this, as
I really hate smoking and I'm prone to finding really obnoxious smokers who 
like to smoke in elevators and the like.
How do I reconsile this with the fact thaam basically a libertarian who
thinks that the gov should stay out of most of our lives?
Actually, I tend to believe that, if the gov is going to exist, it SHOULD do
some good, but I don't k if this follows.

Actually, I basically ignore this and will probably get horribly self-rightous
if I catch anyone smoking near me, but that's besides the point.
