They are pigs, and their habit is unbelievably destructive to MY property.

I'm very sorry you feel that way. However, it's your property and you have every right to do with it as you see fit.

What upsets the majority of us is when the Boards of Health, City Councils and the Government go into a place of business and force them to adopt a ban. It truely should be left up to the owner.

That is your right. I am just saddened that you are lumping all of us under the word "pig." That is really uncalled for.

How do you handle heavy drinkers? And how often do you have to replace a toilet from an obese renter? Or do you live in the land of perfect.

Do you rent to couples with kids? Pets? People in general can be pretty destructive, if they have no manners. I think you just have a big dislike for smokers....but like I said: This is your right.

It is a shame that the GM smokers will now have to work a full shift like their non-smoking co-workers. I just hate that the smokers will not be able to spend 40% of the work day smoking outside on a loading dock in the alley while discussing Nascar, Mullets, Ho Ho's and Britney Spears.

I have two families with dogs right now. I usually have no problems with pets, my main problem with dogs has been when they bark all the time and the neighbors get pissed at me. I have never had heavy drinkers, though I have had a junkie, a murderer, a retired marijuana pilot/importer and fortunately booted out some tweekers the day they were moving in. Kids are great. I had a house with two clinically obese couples (unmarried and cohabitating, maybe that should have disqualified them - just joking), and they ended up being the biggest pigs (they also lied to me and told me they were'nt smokers, when they were) I have ever had. They left 113 papa johns pizza boxes, 22 monitors, a couple dozen towers and printers, and basically all their garbage, when they left. I also try to avoid male college students (sex discrimination, but girls tend to be much more responsible)
