Should Landlords Allow Smoking?

Can landlords really decide one way or another- if their tenants can smoke or not?

It really depends on the area where your units are located, but more landlords are banning cigarettes from their units.

There are a lot of reasons for this, of course.

A few years ago, I had to clean up one of my  units where the previous two tenants were heavy smokers, and it was a whale of a job.

There were nicotine stains all over the walls.  I cringed to think what those cigarettes were doing to the inside of those men's lungs. One of the men has since died, I found out.

Then there's the smell. 

Personally, I'm not bothered too much by the odor of cigarettes.  I may be in the minority, but I've always liked the smell of smoking, although I have never smoked myself. 

But the smoking debate continues. 

Some samples from some of the Fark readers:

"This is bad news for Obama…."

"How can there be a price on ruining your health?

"Good. My social liberalism goes out the window on this.Irrational, I know.

Hypocritical, yes.

But I'm stickin' with it!"
