New smoking restrictions in Washington. Oh boy!

Then the same should apply to him. As long as it is not in an environment where you would normally expect to risk finding one next door.
After all what is good for the Goose is good for the Gander.
A smoker moving into a previously smoke free environment and polluting it should be regulated by the apartment complex....not the government and the tenant inconvenienced should be well with-in their rights to request he relocate or the apartments accommodate the nonsmoker by moving them.

I agree, and maybe I should clarify about banning smoking in public.

Even then... you should be able to smoke outside on your property and if you OWN a house, you probably have neighbors that could smell the smoke if you live close enough.

But is it really that big of a deal? Thats like complaining about smelling someones car exhaust which is just as bad, and happens all the time. Or maybe a lawnmower running. What can you do? Your not going to ban cars.

Its probably worse than second hand smoke. I feel like people dont think about this stuff.

But smoking and apartments should be up to the occupants. But you cant really make a set of laws for home owners because they probably dont apply to everyone.
