Cool! So when I go house hunting, I can get a better deal?

I doubt it, at least from my experience. We got exactly what we wanted when we sold our house earlier this year, and it was more than the identical mostly recently sold house in the community that was not owned by smokers.

If you don't mind buying a house that smells like cigarette smoke, sure. It is simple supply and demand. If a house does not smell like smoke, then both smokers and non-smokers might buy it. If a house does smell like smoke, then lots of non-smokers will not consider it. If two houses are otherwise identical but one house is automatically rejected by a portion of the market then that house will sell for less.
