HOA Smoking Ban

This article (HOA Rule Forbids Couple To Smoke In Their Own Home) produced an unexpected survey result. Only 36% of people agree with me that it is legitimate for a homeowners association to have a rule regarding smoking.

I always wondered about the argument: "where am I supposed to smoke - out in the cold?" I guess there is something about the sanctity of the home that people always seem to want protected. As a Libertarian, I usually agree. But you have to draw a line any time you are doing harm to others.

I'm sure the next logical step will be for the smokers to sue the HOA for expenses of treating their frostbite -- right after the money runs out that they got from the tobacco companies for making them smoke in the first place.
