Exactly what I was going to ask but I don't deal with Raycpa at all-----I get a big,fat headache.
Tenements in Colonial Boston? I don't think so!
And even if they banned public smoking they probably didn't ban smoking private homes.
The wonder of all of this is how on earth do you define an "offensive" odor? I don't like the smell of lilacs---most people do. The use of the word "offensive" makes the entire thing very subjective.
I have learned in order to keep my BP at a normal rate, I ignore him/her.
An absolute bore.
A fleeting moment of insanity..;-)
In 1638, the proscription was expanded to prohibit anyone from smoking in any inn or public house except in his own room "so as neither the master of the house nor any of the guests there shall take offense thereat which if they do, then such person is forthwith to forebear upon paying of two shillings sixpence fine for every offense" (Werner, 1922: 100).
Seems as though the laws then were similar to the result for this lease. Lets bring back the good old days.
