The LA Times reports that Smokers living in apartments, condos, and townhomes in Carlsbad will not be allowed to smoke inside their homes.
The beach city Tuesday became the first in San Diego County to expressly ban smoking and vaping of cannabis and nicotine products inside all local multifamily residential buildings.
While the city’s ordinance prompted some complaints about the government prying into residents’ private lives, others applauded city leaders for prioritizing the health of nonsmokers living in units that are inundated by their neighbors’ secondhand smoke.
Advocates of the ban noted that cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, resulting in more than 480,000 deaths annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Secondhand smoke exposure can cause a variety of ailments, including heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer, federal health officials say.
The London Times reports:
Melanie Burkholder, a Carlsbad council member, told the San Diego Union-Tribune: “I wrestle with the idea of how can I tell somebody what they can or can’t do in the confines of their own place where they live. But … we have to watch out for the best interests of the majority of the public.”
At least 84 of California’s 483 municipalities — including Beverly Hills, Cupertino and Pasadena — have enacted similar bans in multi-family private residences, according to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation.
What happened to Tim Walz’s “mind your own business” mantra?

I’m not a smoker. never have been. not even pot. and I don’t think the Govt
should be banning cigs or anything! Their woke left wing big govt policies
are worst and more harmful to citizens! All Govts are too big and N*zis!
Government intrusion just as it was when they banned smoking in restaurants and bars. The smarter way to do it is through the free market. If the government should have stayed out of it, and given public sentiment turning against smoking, eventually private owners would open smoke free establishments and I’ll bet they would do better financially than those allowing smoking.
Free markets are Monopoly Markets. Corporations own it all! So, you all have this terrible delusion of Freedom that never was, really! And it is astounding to witness this tragic anomoly from a Biblical Perspective; because the Good Book says, “Everyone believed Lies” ( Past Tense) . – Revelation. Why are you all stuck on lies? Are you afraid of Truth? Do you fear losing your MC JOB if you speak out against the BEAST and its Corruption? I told the Beast to HOLD MY WILLY! What
s wrong with the Rest of you?Kamala will promise the moon, then drop all her promises like a DIRTY RAG , as soon as you all vote for her. Trump will do the same. Notice His Wall. Anyone could have built that Wall in a Few Months, by assigning the Army Corps of Engineers, and declaring a National Security Problem. Did Trump Fail Business 101? I just built Trumps Wall in "3 months or less" at very little cost to taxpayers! I mean what fool would "free market" the WALL ( Pay 1000x cost on corruption) when you have an Already Paid for Army that needs Training in Building Walls! You Got an Intelligence Vacuume, America! Government is not Evil. The people who Fail to Control their Government are Evil. I am sure your founders ( I divorced you, America) would agree.
Ever Trade a Stock?
You "better know" to go with the BIG MONEY INFLOWS ( BANKERS and HEDGE FUNDS) or youll get Monkey Hammered! All Charts are Made to Read these BIG CORPORATE MONEY Inputs: All Valuations and Ratings are Based (in part) on these Inflows. You better know to go with the Corruption; because Corruption Rules the market. I did well as an Independent Trader ( a little guy) and that was my Key to Success. I never lost a penny. Greed and Corruption RULE everything. Freedom is a Delusion. Free markets are owned and predictable! I bank on Realism and I always win.
So… America, How long is it going to take?
Government politicians love other peoples money. Just look what they spend it on?
If a government can control your actions in your own home, you have no personal liberty. Left-wing authoritarians must be fought every time they appear. America has become the home of the timid and land of the marginally free.
HOW ARE THEY GONNA ENFORCE THIS? PUT A SMOKE DETECTOR IN
HOME SO THEY CAN MONITOR IT? THIS IS N*ZI GERMANY BS!
The great Rush Limbaugh predicted this decades ago. Some people might have thought it was a joke. Others of us knew better.
Rush predicted the left would destroy sports and even NFL and he was right.
All sports has been ruined by left. NFL NBA are nothing but woke radical
left rigged BS now! College football is only sport I still watch as I think the
players are still playing for pride school and not a left wing agenda!
