Calif. city: Secondhand smoke a nuisance

<sarcasm>
You know what's really a "public nuisance"? Ugly. Ugly people, ugly dogs and cats - just ugly. Now, I don't propose that police cite people for excessive lack of beauty, but I would like to see it easier to sue my neighbors for forcing me to look at their ugly mugs.

AP - Smokers, beware: This bedroom community near San Francisco may soon put you in the same category as rodents, junk cars and weeds. The Dublin City Council gave preliminary approval last week to an ordinance declaring secondhand tobacco smoke a public nuisance, a move designed to make it easier for residents to take to court neighbors who puff with impunity.
