They will never stop. The anti smoking zealotry was never a health issue, instead it was always a control issue.

Why do you have a problem with this? These people chose to live in an association-run complex, presumably because they figured the benefits outweighed the costs. HOAs are intended to limit behavior that imposes externalities on other properties, as apparently smoking can in multi-unit buildings, and this one chose to restrict it. What’s so bad about that?

Smokers rarely help their own cause.

The most common piece of litter I see? By far, cig butts.

When smokers smoke, do they not realize that forcing other people to smell their smoke is rude?

I wonder if smoker my wife and I had to walk behind on a public sidewalk the other day, whose smoke was constantly hitting us in the face, realize how physically offensive her actions are to others? I doubt it.
