...after their condominium association amended its bylaws last December to prohibit smoking.

HOAs are inherent compromises of personal liberty, and are to be avoided at all costs.

They are also inherent enhancers of property value, and are to be considered as wise economic choices.

On the one hand this is the craziest thing I have heard yet, but then came this little gem: The couple said that they would like to unload their condo and get out of the HOA entirely, but they are not sure if the real estate market is right

You want out or not? Either countersue or sell. If the market not being right vs. your personal rights is a tough choice then I have no pity for you. I owned a HOA condo, and it wasn't a bad deal overall. A glorified apartment but it was better than renting. I would have sold it in a minute of they had decided to ban smoking. Heck it might have even increased the value to certain people. Time for a cigarette
