And how about those of us who have to heat in the winter with WOOD FIRES???? I have a big wood furnace in the basement that I used 5-6 months out of the year. Believe me......it's a good heat but a dirty one. But that's how we heat our homes here.

SheLion, foul odors (regardless of source) reduce property values. It doesn't matter whether it is cigarettes, wood stoves, nearby toxic waste dumps, or body odor.
The previous penny-pinching owners of my home relied upon the woodstove as much as the gas furnace...and we low-balled him on our offer and STILL got the house because he was carrying two mortgages. If the house smelled "seabreeze fresh" we probably would have encountered more bidding competition and could have lost the house.
I don't care if people smoke, but doing it in your own home or automobile only hurts YOU in the end come resale time.
