You could always try this place
Calabasas, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And you might even get to see Kim Kardashian. It might cost a little more than St. Pete though.

Not just that, but people need to stop throwing their butts in the streets and beaches too!

We are not pigs, we have awesome roads, and it is really rude, and shows complete lack of common sense when you are not using your car's ashtray, and use the streets as ashtrays. (and worst, blow YOUR smoke in my car).
Here in NYC, the mayor has instituted a no smoking policy in public parks and beaches. I am torn about this. I am a non-smoker who has chronic bronchitis because my parents, older relatives et. al., chain smoked around me from the time I was born. But I recognize the civil liberties implications. It's a hard question...

Too bad the ciggies do not come with an inflatable head bubble, that keeps all the smoke within ... could be small like a an astronaut's head gear. hmm we can even have them in colors,, My niece has silent asthma, and the cig. smoke is very harmful, what about her liberty? People really do not care until it hits their doorstep. But working on cleaning my ducts, and joining some group somewhere to start throwing money at congress to change some laws.. least so they keep the smoke out the apt I have to pay for.

I'm a non smoker, but telling people they can't smoke outside is the equivalent to telling fat people they can't be outside. After all they are an offense to the eyes, and a drain on our health care system.
I don't buy the second hand smoke thing, especially outside. If you worked in a bar and were in a smoke filled room Every night for a couple of years, I could see that being harmful.

Ya think smokers are bad......don't get me started about pet owners who don't clean up after their pets.....can we outlaw them while we're in the limiting civil rights here in the USA mode....I'll come up with a few other irritants that I want to see outlawed and will get back to the CDF later on.

We just had to put up a few signs in our neighborhood because some folks feel that dog poop is natural and they leave it there for all to enjoy.

IF you have a drain in/where the AC filter is located you can poor some bleach in it, not sure it will help but it won't hurt it. You might also ask in the house forum for ideas
