And now they want to dictate what you do in your own home and not affecting no one else.

IMO, this should solely be an issue between landlord/land owner, and the person renting. If it does affect a neighbor, then it should be the landlords responsibility to enhance something in the smokers apt to keep it from going into the neighbors.

Suffolk County To Attempt To Ban Smoking In Private Homes

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Is one suburban county going too far trying to legislate what residents can and cannot do in the privacy of their own homes?

Hoping to be the most progressive county in the state, Suffolk County is proposing a law that would snuff out secondhand smoke in apartment complexes, condominiums, and multi-family dwellings, CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported Wednesday.

Smoking is already banned in many public places, and near schools and office buildings, but there are no smoke-free laws for apartment buildings, condos, and two-family homes.

“Let me be clear, any legislation that there is a vote required that would have an impact on preventing the public or innocent people who have made a choice not to smoke, from being exposed to smoke, I will support that legislation,” Suffolk Legislator Dr. William Spencer said.

Poor victims. They "choose" to not smoke? How does one go about that? No one I know of is forcing anyone to smoke, so I'm not seeing the "choice". BTW, how many buses are there in this county? I prefer to not inhale freaking bus exhaust fumes but nobody gives a damn. Seems to me it's the same greenies selling mass transit that cry about smoking.

No, I DON'T sound any more ridiculous than this piece of legislation.
