But even if second hand smoke was not a problem, there is still a legitimates safety issue.  Smoking is the number one cause death, injury, and property damage from house fires.

And this is not an expensive enforcement requirement like drug tests.  I doubt there would be any added costs for investigation or enforcement.  Tenants would just be subject to eviction if they get caught.

I agree, moving beyond the health risks it still makes little sense to allow.
