Cigarette smoking usually disgusts me.... But what I see here are some petty tyrants w Gov’t jobs getting their fun by tormenting these poor people in their housing units/Maybe their lives are semi-miserable and smoking is one cheap pleasurable thing they have

Fair enough.

As a society we need to stop subsidizing those who don’t need it. That includes crony capitalism such as Boeing and the Export-Import bank.

The individual in this story smokes and likely spends over $1,000 a year doing it assuming he smokes a pack a day. It’s disposable income. My point is that amount should go to his rent. I’m sorry that he may be semi-miserable, but he needs to stop feeding at the taxpayer teat.
