Edit: Okay WTF you edited as I was posting
 
Not wanting smoking in public and commercial spaces isn't being a busybody.


Yes it is. When you've graduated to the point where it's a legislative issue that suddenly one cannot smoke on patios outdoors you've officially crossed the busybody threshold. Second hand smoke cannot possibly hurt you in an open air environment in any manner discernible from ambient air pollution. It is purely a law to intended to look as though the busy bodies are staying busy.

Staying off the smoking patio of such an establishment will keep you just as safe from those evil smoke rays as passing laws that are not even intended to fix a problem
 
Unsurprisingly Texas is the most stayed in state.

and it has a lower percentage of texans born in the state than in any point between 1900 and 2012 (people are moving in)

Put these two characteristics together along with the fact that texas has a larger net growth than CA and you find that texas will eventually become the most populous state in the union

Looks like I'm a busybody then.

thats irrelevant to my point, I don't do the reefer or hookah and have no problem with businesses permitting that.

Wait, wut?

It shows that in 2012, 61% of the people in Texas were born in Texas. The Dakotas, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maine, New York, Alabama, Utah, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana ... all higher percentages of native-born residents in those states.

That is where current residents are from Texas attracts a lot of people from other states. Look at the first chart, 82% of people born in Texas are still there.

The first chart was from 1900.
 
The first chart spans from 1900 on the left to 2012 on the right.

The one from 1900 isn't very current. The most current one is from 2012. The first one shows that 82% of people born in Texas were still in Texas in 1900 (i.e. they were born before 1900 and when the year 1900 rolled around, they were still in Texas). The last one shows that 61% of the people born in Texas were still in Texas in 2012. (i.e. they were born before 2012 and when the year 2012 rolled around, they were still in Texas).

The figure is no longer 82%. It was 82% in the year 1900.

edit : Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "first chart", and the charts on the page won't load for me today, so I can't go back and look at it.
