Since HUMANBEING thinks this is such a great idea, I can tell him/her right where to go to experience it, sounds like he/she would fit right in. The only problem is he/she would need a time machine, as it was Germany in the mid-1930′s and early to mid-1940′s. Anti-gun, anti-smoking, state-regulated health regimes, required physicals, dietary dictatorship, it was all there. HUMANBEING, you are welcome to it, plus it would get you out of our country, whiuch most us prefer to remain FREE.

Humanbeing, you are exactly the kind of selfish, ignorant, mindless clone that government bureaucrats and nanny do-gooders love. I’d love to be there when the nannies shut down something YOU like. And they will, eventually – their list is endless.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA! I wish this could be passed in more places. Sound crazy? I cannot tell you how much money I’ve spent on air freshners, air purifiers, you name it to keep the smell of smoke out of my apartment. Here are some things people aren’t considering:
-The smoke doesn’t just affect the smoker (at least not where I live
-If someone is smoking indoors, how can they possibly have a working smoke detector? FIRE HAZARD.
-Why should people be allowed to kill themselves and other people just because they are paying for something? Regardless of the fact tobacco is legal, IT KILLS PEOPLE. DAILY.
-For the sake of the apartment complex, it takes so much more work for them to remove the smoke smells and stains from the apartment, it may not be worth their time/effort. They lose money because they have a unit no one wants to live in.

No one with any sense is going to say smoking is good for you; and what’s worse is it’s bad for anyone around you. THIS is what we should be fighting to keep. When’s the last time gays were scientifically proven to cause cancer? Maybe try to pick battles that don’t involved DEATH.

I agree with Dan. There are acceptable and unacceptable levels of noise and smells which vary from person to person and should be decided privately.

We had an apartment neighbor who used to complain about our cooking smells, even though I though hers were far worse. Then she wanted us (as non-smokers) to gang up on another tenant who smoked (out her window, no-less). I think SHS is unpleasant, to say the least, but I think a reasonable amount of noise, smells, etc should be assumed in apartment/condo living.

You could also view this as class discrimination as the poor smoker is more likely to live in an apartment complex or condo.

The way this is written is JUST NUTS.

That’s right, this non-smoking theist liberal nanny says this law is NUTS.

In a condo, you own the inside walls and the space within. Common areas, okay, I can see that being an issue, but COULDN’T THE CONDO ASSOCIATION DEAL WITH THAT???

And in apartments, okay, I could see the common areas being subject to health law, but the inside of the apartment?

I could see this in buildings with common ventilation systems, but I have NEVER lived in an apartment with a common ventilation system.

Did I mention this is NUTS?

Watch for regulations on wearing perfume and cooking onions or fish next.
