No Smoking Here, In Your Own Home!

This anti-smoking nazi-ism is spreading now to condo associations banning property OWNERS from smoking in their own damn homes!

What's next, no perfume or cologne if it bothers your neighbor in the hallway? No cooking Italian or Polish sausages or bacon because the Muslim that lives next door is offended by the smell of pork? Where does it end?

Rocky Mountain News: Local: "GOLDEN - Colorado smokers grousing about no longer being able to light up in bars should consider the plight of a couple banned by a judge from smoking in their own home.

Colleen and Rodger Sauve earlier this month lost a court battle to overturn a Heritage Hills #1 Condominium Homeowners Association rule that targeted their cigarette use because the smell of burning tobacco drifted into other condos in the four-unit complex where Colleen has lived, and smoked, for more than five years.

'I don't understand how you get to change the rules in the middle of the game,' Colleen Sauve said Thursday. 'There has to be a limit to a homeowners association's authority, especially when this (smoking) is a lawful act.'"

The legal battle began after the condo association responded to a complaint from the Sauve's next- door neighbor, Penelope Boyd, about the smoke and odor she said was coming from the Sauves' condo.

Boyd's daughter, Christine Shedron, said the problem is not just the smell, but her mother's sensitivity to it. read more

BooooHooooo...Give me a break. Why doesn't the woman offended by the odor have to move? This is discrimination through and through. I would sue the living hell out of this woman and the association as I hope the owners above are doing. By the way, where is the worthless commie ACLU on this one? (They are probably the ones that initiated the complaint in the 1st place.)
