[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 528589, member: 84"] Susie, I'd be taking some folks to court over some of those smoking policies. Ok, maybe a landlord can get away with it in a home they own if tenant has signed a lease stated that way (not those fees though, a judge would toss it and make it be paid back) prior to moving in..........but the trailer park owner would have a rude awakening in court. Outside on the grounds, maybe, inside their own property seriously doubtful. Heck......even on the grounds, seriously doubtful. I had a landlord who *thought* she could impose fees for walking on the grass, 20 bucks a pop. Uh, no. You can have the rule, but not the fees. And honestly? If people don't stop this koi, I'm never going to quit because it makes me go full blown difficult child. Folks & govt are using the smoking bit to progressively stomp all over peoples personal rights.....far beyond smoking, it's just what opened the door regardless that it is a totally legal substance. It is something that will make me furious instantly, dig in my heels, and go all stubborn. Sure it's not the healthiest habit in the world, but it's still legal, and as long as it is, smokers deserve the same rights as other folks. They wouldn't dream of doing such things with alcohol because they know it wouldn't be tolerated. Smokers seriously need to get peeved enough to start taking them to court over this crud. Ohio found out rather quickly that their new laws concerning smoking are unenforceable and folks flat out ignore them and literally dare someone to do something about it. Restaurants and businesses have returned the ashtrays to right outside the door instead of 100 ft away. People will only be pushed so far before they start pushing back. And it will backfire just as prohibition did. All these idiotic smoking policies have done was make me understand why my grandpa was a rum runner. sheesh Sorry. I got off on a tangent. I haven't had enough sleep or any coffee yet. [/QUOTE]
