It has nothing to do with the e-cig, public safety, or your personal well being. Forget that notion right now. It has everything to do with loss of state and fed tax revenue from tobacco products, period.

"I mean why should I quit smoking, it's my right to smoke," said the anonymous tenant.

It's not "your right" to smoke in a building YOU DO NOT OWN.

How do "poor" people pay for e-cigarettes in the first place, or regular cigarettes for that matter?

I've been told that "poor people" sell their food stamps/ebt cards for CASH so that they can then go out and buy all the booze and cigarette's they want.

And that, my friend, is the point that everyone is missing.

It’s a constant b!tch when you are a total dependent of society.

I don't know about being a total dependent on society. But as I grow older and look at the state of the world---it is a constant b!tch...:-)

Decisions-decisions. Vape or live on the cheap.

maintenance costs, the risk of fire and the cost of fire insurance.

Bullsh!t. Does the housing authority still let them deep fry on the stove? In my area there have been a half dozen fires due to people heating up grease on the stove and falling asleep. There was one fire caused by 2 4 yo boys that decided to deep fry something because they were hungry and welfare momma wasn't home. They are both dead now.

The liberals ought to be honest for once and just come out and say "We thing nicotine use of any kind is bad for you and we're going to make you stop for your own good."
