Agreed, I don't knowingly rent to them either... its a filthy habbit, and my state restricts how much security deposit I can get, so no way I can even think about smokers in my properties.

Prior to purchasing my home I rented an apartment then a house. I received thank you letters concerning the condition of both places at the time of my final inspections. I still see my old landlord, of the house, every now and then. He thanks me for being such a good tenant and states that he wished even a small portion of his renters were as good as I was. Of course, I kept the lawn mowed and house clean. I didn't throw parties and made small improvements to the house. I was considerate that I didn't own the home, but then again I am a smoker so you shouldn't rent to me.

In addition to the thank yous, I received full refunds of both security deposits.
