a house that smells of smoke and has tinted walls won't sell

And what about the house of a smoker that doesn't smell of smoke and the walls aren't tinted?
They exist. Just because you don't want to believe it doens' make it not true.

Joe how about reading my posts, I have stated several times in this thread that some smokers keep their homes pristine, and wash their walls top to bottom monthly, and clean out their air ducts routine etc etc... but they are by and far the most minute of the population.

Smoking physically impacts a property, just like owning 32 cats does... I don't care if you smoke or not, but don't come here claiming that smoking doesn't impact homes... the average person, whether a smoker or not, are not NEAT FREAKS.. they are clean and keep their homes in good condition, but they don't nearly clean enough to keep the physical impact of smoking from being noticeable to even the most untrained eye.
