Smoking Ban?

Got a letter from some attorney repping the board about smoking.  Some folks smoke to much...but then you got the idiots that step outside to smoke in the hallways.  It makes sense to slap the hall smokers with fines but how can you possibly regulate the ones that smoke in their homes?  How do you deal with the ones that are renters and not owners.  Who is the board gonna fine?  I think you can fine them all you want but they don't have to pay it and you can't kick them out of their homes either.  Imposing fines on owners because of their renters is a touchy issue.  Seems to me, this spells trouble and money if the board steps on the wrong toe. Smoking is annoying but is it such a big issue in this building?  Or is the legal notice just to satisfy a particular board member or friend of a board member? Hmm...I can't see the board going to great lengths just for a regular resident.  Though, controlling the smoking that goes on in the hallways is a good thing.  

Smoking is not like noise where there are restricted time frames.  What's the board gonna do? Ban smoking 24 hours inside owners' apartment?  That's pretty stupid.  If you call the police and complain about smell, what would they do?  They barely do anything when you complain about noise. 

Noise on the other hand is a big issue in this building.  We got cuckoos arguing to the wee hours of the morning, folks sashaying in their heels in the middle of the night, peeps slamming their doors every 5 seconds, idiots blasting their music like they still in the pjs...you name it, we got it.  BUT, I don't see a legal notice threatening to slap fines on those who don't limit their noise.  Afterall, it is a quality of life issue isn't it?  It's in the By-Laws isn't it?

Every now and then, I'd smell smoke in the hallways from inside my apartment.  It's a annoying, but I don't think it's a building wide issue that requires such a legal letter.  

Aren't there more important issues to deal with?
