And it can lower the value of a home when it goes up for sale. The house I bought was from a smoker and we spent forever scrubbing the walls and ceiling. What we though were soft yellow walls were really white. The rinse water bucket looked like a spittoon when we were done a room. And we had to throw out all the carpeting because of the smell.

Gabz, you addressed this same spew not too long ago.  Will you please tell this ah, FReeper the truth?

Thanks!

(Funny how a little bleach can help! heh!

how rude. Were you in this house when the offer was made? Were you in this house to smell it? Were you there when I got a couple grand off the price because of the smoke infestation?

What I wrote is a fact. The house stunk of smoke and the whole place needed to be stripped for it to be liveable and I negotiated an additional couple thousand off the price because of the cigarrette smoke damage. Only another smoker would be oblivious to the asthetic damage smoking does to a dwelling. Oh and bleach doesn't get into the pad nor does anything for cigarrette butt burns in carpeting, either.
