Homeless advocates and public health officials are squaring off over a controversial Obama administration proposal to ban smoking in government-assisted housing projects.

The smoking ban has drawn praise from health officials who say it would spare non-smokers from the dangerous effects of secondhand smoke. But homeless advocates are enraged by the proposal, which they fear could force low-income residents who can’t kick the habit out of their homes.

Trump should oppose this and advertise on urban minority radio.

I despise authoritarians.

He is so out of touch if he thinks that people in assisted housing are going to stop smoking weed.

I used to pull security in one and you would get a contact high just walking down the halls.

“Obama administration proposal to ban smoking in government-assisted housing projects.”...........

While the WH is not part of the “assisted housing projects”, it IS “government assisted housing” for odumbo and his family. Perhaps that smoking ban should include the WH then.

Public housing is subsidize. If they have enough for cigarettes (or weed), they have enough to pay more rent.

But homeless advocates are enraged by the proposal
If the bums are living in government-assisted housing, how can they be homeless?

Let’s not forget that he even (or a ghost writer) stated that when they could get some cocaine, they’d do that too. Remember when somebody inferred that GWB may have used coke what an uproar there was? But, if you mention in the same frame concerning the lyin’ king, you’re racis’.

So true; bodega-type stores near these slums are filled with wards of the state buying tobacco and lottery tickets...

The only reason self serving politicians do anything is for gain. Power control money and or favors.

I oppose the nanny state, but when you’re the nanny’s charge, the nanny sets the rules. From a simple maintenance standpoint, smoking should not be allowed indoors.

Ooooh, when does enforcement start? When do they start confiscating weed? There goes the blooming careers of black ‘entrepreneurs’! But no—we all know that tobacco smoke is bad for you but marijuana smoke is GOOD! Go get em, Barack- and while you’re at it collect all those firearms you find in public housing-you know, the ones felons aren’t supposed to have. Never happen-no way they want to anger the voting base.

@ an average cost of $5.51 per pack, someone who smokes a pack a day will spend about $2,000 a year on cigarettes. If they have those extra funds why isn’t it going for rent?

No need to worry about secondhand smoke in government-assisted housing projects you need to worry about getting smoked see Chicago.

So, after how many years did the tobacco bad thing start? How many years before some study by someone shows “Ooops. We really screwed up legalizing MJ. It’s REALLY bad for you.” Well except for the medicinal parts that is. Interesting times eh? ;-)

I hate tobacco Nazis, and I don’t even use tobacco.

It’s a personality type.
