My major problem, which I was not really able to get into prior to being attacked by fellow FReepers, is who is being quoted in the article as "so-called" experts. The folks I pinged to this article are quite familiar with the names and understood what I was saying about the 'experts.'
Additionally I am very familiar with the nature of the real estate industry in Delaware, and I was looking more to bring up the faults of it and this article showed my position on that very well. Believe me, I would have posted this article if it was talking about certain types of cooking or even pet owners. It just so happened that the article was about smoking.
Had this article been about people cooking cabbage or about pet woners, I do not believe the nastiness seen on this thread would have been so prevalent.
If they bought the house as-is, there is no way they should be able to sue.
That comment brings me back to the original point I made about the so-called "experts" that is what these people do to earn a living, they find ways to attack smokers.
I do agree if the question was asked and denied that is a different story, and the buyer should have a course of action.
It seems your major problem is that you want the market to decide when it comes to restaurants but now when it comes to selling your home.
