The houses are harder to sell?
That means they'll be sold for less.
That means the smokers have less money to spend. (in addition to the cost of the cigs)
That means that there's yet another financial incentive to stop smoking.
That also means that non-smokers have extra finncial incentive to buy a smoker's house, and manage the damage as they see fit.
In short, there IS NO PROBLEM HERE! The automatic responses of the market already do far more than any dip-stick reporter ever could. The moron writing the story needs to get an education and grow a brain.
Apparently you didn't do much better than the reporter of this.
A corrupt real estate company is what caused the delay in selling my house.
I got what I asked for
I got more than I needed to spend for my new purchase.
I see no financial incentive to quit smoking
The non-smokers that bought my house paid what I was asking.
In short not one thing you claim applies to the sale of my house in Delaware.
The reporter is a moron, because I had a story that proves the exact opposite of what the article claims.
