Non-smoking apartments in Woodland

I hate smoking.  I've never smoked a cigarette, cigar, joint, crack pipe or anything like that.  When I am on the road and a hotel has only smoking rooms left I go somewhere else.

The article in the Sacramento Bee today about the Springlake apartment complex that will be entirely smoking free seems like a great idea to me.  The owner wants to make the place smoke free then they can market it as such.

What I would not support is the suggestion in this article that Woodland adopt an ordinance that bans smoking in all apartment complexes.  The people like me that don't like smoking will provide the market incentive to have more smoking free apartments.  The article says they are springing up all over the place. Let the market work.

I feel the same way about bars and other private establishments.  I don't like smoking but if the bar owner wants to have smoking then people can choose to go or work in another place.  Other establishments will remain smoke free and appeal to a different kind of consumer.

This apartment building is a good thing but let's not push it too far.
