So what do we do? I don't believe in making them illegal as that infringes on others rights to choose what they put in their body, but I do feel for the kids and family members who have to put up with the habit.
Its also a nightmare when you rent. Luckily I see more rental properties banning smoking, but they are still in the minority.<p>Its not just smoke wafting in from neighbors, but also the third hand smoke deposited in the unit you may be exposed to by previous smokers.<p>For example, its almost impossible to remove the third hand smoke from ventilation systems that use flexible duct tubing because they tear.<p>The cost of a total clean-up is so high, I bet nobody actually does it correctly. Since there is no transparency in this matter, as a consumer you can't make an educated decision on the unit you area about to rent.
