Tuesday night the city council sought to expand that prohibition and voted 4-2 to ban smoking for all new tenants of apartments and condos inside their residences - with one exception.
"I really don't think they should be telling people what to do if they are paying for the place they're living in," Jones said.
Other cities have taken similar measures. Pasadena will make all apartments, condos and townhouses smoke-free by 2013 - a move Santa Monica is also looking into.

Wait until Obama writes an executive order to do the same in the entire US, then forcing everyone to buy a pound of broccoli every week, or pay a penalty and so on...
I used to work in that burg....even the lefty (vast majority) locals refer to Santa Monica as “The Peoples’ Republic of Santa Monica”.
I say make your laws. Then try to enforce them.
What about smoking pot? What’s the point of legalizing pot, if you can’t smoke it anyway?
Thanks Innovative. At least Hizdishonor Bloomberg just wants to ban large softdrinks in stores.
I wonder how they would feel if thay banned homosexual acts in ones own apartment.
Why is it right to tell a cigarette smoker he cannot smoke. but its ok to smoke a pole.

Give Bloomberg time, just give him time. There are a lot more condos and apts in NYC than in Santa Monica.
trans-fats,salt, they are already controlled or banned in ny.
and men are no longer permitted to pee on the ground in the woods, no spitting allowed on any government owned property, passing gas is prohibited unless special permission has been granted, and being in the nude in the presence of a person of the opposite sex will not be tolerated......so there!
Remember to drop a smoking butt next to something flammable on your next trip through Santa Monica Lewinski!
The next mandate will be that everyone must put the toilet seat down after doing their bidness.
They won't do that. They'll just mandate that everyone has to squat to pee like all the liberals do.
Please ping me with any Southern California related articles. Thank you!
If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.
Good point, especially considering that sodomy is more deadly than smoking.
