Another vote for the lanai. However, I'm a smoker and refuse to smoke in my house, so I do use the lanai constantly regardless of the weather. But, like Pooh, I love to sit out there, especially in the early morning and enjoy the birds.
That being said, I do know of some who have totally enclosed their lanai to turn it into another room and they have no regrets. So, I guess it depends on what you want -- access to outside and nature or privacy and more indoor space.
