I agree.
If some people want to live in an apartment house where no tenents smoke, let private enterprise invent smoke-free apartment houses for them.
If other people want to smoke, let there be apartment houses for smokers.
I’m one Freeper who affirms this law. My wife and I lived three months in an apartment over a smoking woman. It was terrible, and contributed to my wife’s pregnancy nausia. We moved because it was intolerable, even though we had several air filters and spread baking soda everywhere. When you live in a communal situation, you need to be considerate of your community.
There’s one particular a-hole from Kalifornia who posts nothing but anti-smoking threads. He’s an anti-prop 8 crusader to from what I understand.
Re: “There are some Freepers who will love this ... can you believe that? I’m continually stunned here (or would that be stuned?) when freepers come out for more regulation and then get extremely ugly if they are challenged.”

I would not be in favor of ‘regulation’ if people would be a little considerate of their neighbors.
For many years I lived in a condo complex and units were grouped in fours around stairwells. People would go outside their units and sit in the enclosed stairwells to smoke, and the rest of us would get the stench coming around doors and through ducts.
Unfortunately, even when smoking INside the units, the smoke or smell came right through — through shared pipes, ducts, etc. Cooking odors were another issue but not so annoying to others as the smoke and certainly not health hazards.
So yes, in multi-family housing I do think this should be addressed though it would be REALLY NICE if people would try to accommodate their neighbors a little so more regulation would not be necessary.
