I’m a smoker, but I agree with you both. The landlord should have the right to prohibit smoking if he so desires, just like he can prohibit pets.

However, I do draw the line with towns/cities creating ordinances that require the landlords to prohibit smoking in apartments, as at least one California town has already done.

We agree completely. Private property is the property of the private owner, not of the government. That's what distinguishes the United States from the USSR, from Cuba, and from Obama's dream of change.

Of course - that's absurd. But then, it's California.
