The policy will be viewed as punitive and cruel and noncompliance will be widespread. It is incredibly foolish and unkind.
The U.S. Department of Homewrecking and Utopian Development (HUD) said it plans to forbid smoking in public housing units to protect millions of low-income tenants from the ridiculously over-hyped effects of secondhand tobacco smoke.

Incrementalism at work. Communism is a mental disease.
