“”Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, healthy home free from harmful second-hand cigarette smoke””
Check out Chicago, HUD... No danger there to kids, is there? Not only no shootings but no drugs left on coffee tables for toddlers to reach and die from ingesting them? Nope. Once government regulations control everything, all problems go away.
Pinging the actual Nanny State PING list this time.
My aunt died earlier this year from pulmonary fibrosis. Her smoking from the 1960s to the 1990s undoubtedly contributed to it.
My mother currently is on oxygen from a combination of COPD, lung sarcoidosis, asthma and allergies. Her smoking from the 1960s to 1995 undoubtedly contributed to the COPD and sarcoidosis.
Nonetheless, I hope Dr. Carson will reverse this draconian ban. As you have said yourself, Drango, these folks are addicts. As such, good luck in getting them all to quit with this edict. If we are going to impose this ban on our tenants (we being the taxpayers represented by Fedzilla), it would also behoove us to provide rehab services to help them quit.
Big, Uber-Federal Nanny State PING!
How does someone living in public housing afford cigarettes? I went through a brief period of unemployment in 2008. That’s when I kicked the habit. Of course, no one was subsidizing my housing, food, or anything.
Wow, just think of the fine revenue! Whatta goldmine!
Except for the pot smokers who will be exempt.
It’s “good” for her. Why should she change? She does not want to; having a permanent silver spoon in your mouth must be hard.

Make another law/regulation that no one will follow.
Makes the real laws less respected.
Kind of like when a Prez (Billy, or bo) ignores the law.
Why should I?
Obama’s doing what?
Ban beer and coffee too. Might as well have some really out of control, enraged residents.
"I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter."
Dr Ben Carson will have a big say in the policy. Doubt that he will overturn it.
How much extra does it cost to clean the apartment of a smoker once they vacate?
Maybe they'll finally be enraged enough to actually look for work.
NO! You don't say?
How about they ban having babies without marriage and responsible father’s first???
>>Is government to tell them they cannot smoke in their own house? That is clearly discrimination.”<<
If you don’t like the rules, don’t accept government handouts!
” if residents won’t be given the resources necessary to quit smoking — like free access to smoking cessation groups, counseling, and smoking cessation aids like nicotine patches and gums.”
More freebies and everything will be fine!/s
If you take the King’s Coin, you do the King’s Bidding.
Simpson says. “If you get caught smoking in your apartment, your lease is going to be terminated and you’re gonna be put out into the street over a cigarette?”
The HUD says that’s not how the ban should be enforced. “The last thing that we want are evictions,” a HUD spokesperson wrote in an email to The Verge. “We encourage [public housing authorities] to work with residents so it doesn’t get to that point.”
So basically, this is a lot of stuff and nonsense about something that’s NOT going to be enforced by any measurable means, but makes Julian Castro look good?
Whatever. Feckin’ Libtards.
Politicians say, “More Taxes, will solve everything”......and the band played on...
“How much extra does it cost to clean the apartment of a smoker once they vacate?”
It’s not cheap.
For the rental real-estate I own, there is no smoking allowed.
You smoke, you lose your deposit.
