A 2011 UCLA study found that California landlords, both public and private, could save $18 million a year in cleanup costs if they banned smoking in their units. Accumulated smoke settles in the walls, cabinets, doors and floors — which often means completely replacing carpet and the like.

Smokers stink.

If you can afford cigarettes, you can afford to pay your own rent. Stop sucking on the taxpayer teat.

You think they’re mad now. Just wait until Medicaid starts refusing to treat smokers.

“Smokers stink.

If you can afford cigarettes, you can afford to pay your own rent. Stop sucking on the taxpayer teat.”

So do people who wear too much perfume or after shave.

The cost of cigarettes is high because the government taxes addicts. If you have to live in government housing should you be told you can’t eat sugar, fat or whatever else they tell you?

Disabled and elderly often have to live in government housing because they are not working and can’t afford anything else and the government took the Social Security money they put away for their whole lives.

Government stinks. Find another scapegoat.

Compliance? Good luck with that come winter. I’m not a smoker, and when I was a home health nurse, I would have to spend an hour or more in a smokers apartment, and I hated it. But I can say pretty confidently, that some of my former patients, if still alive, will NEVER stop smoking. Multiply that by hundreds of thousands, if not millions. The government will end up spending millions on high end exhaust systems in covered, heated and air conditioned walkways, attached to heated and air conditioned huts. The government never saves any money. (Trump has saved some, but the congress will eat that up and more.)

If they’re worried about the cleanup cost, why don’t they have the incoming tenants clean the rooms?

Regardless, I’m sure the smoke nazis are rejoicing over this one.

Government shouldn’t be doing charity in the first place.

Smokes, lobster, steak, caviar etc etc etc should be banned from EBT Cards at the supermarket. Make them learn how to *COOK, or starve.

Not to worry. Some activist judge will declare this to be unconstitutional. But there’s a lesson to learned here. When you suckle at the government teat, the government makes the rules.

So does that smoking ban include smoking dope?

“Stop sucking on the taxpayer teat.”

The “government” (our supposed reps) is the number on enablers.
