"I take it your answer was no? Silly laws result from silly people. Just because it hasn't happened , doesn't mean it won't. We have a 5 foot easement on both sides of our house. People can build within 10 feet of each other. What's to keep a non smoker from seeing a neighbor light up and try to change the HOA to no smoking in houses now?"

I think that is only half of the problem, Imagine how Ms.Hillary and Ms. Pelosi will go about SAVING THE CHILDREN. I can see a day when laws will be passed disallowing smoking and other vices in neighborhoods that have children.

What to have a backyard cookout? Sorry No beer No Cigs and for God's sake no open flames. But you are allowed to have government approved tofu sandwiches and granola snacks.

That is what I'm talking about. I don't smoke and would be upset that smoke was coming into my apartment but I would expect the builders to fix the problem instead of demanding my neighbor not smoke. Today they are going after the smokers. Next it will be something else. The nannies won't be happy until we all are bubble wrapped.
