Ban on smoking in their own home decided
The post office of the anti-smoking town of Wayland, MA
In the small American town in the state of Massachusetts Wayland will be prohibited in the spring of 2011 in the homes of all residential units that are the Wayland Housing Authority are to quit smoking. Wayland was called the "Puritan Village" because it was founded in 1637 by Puritans, who is still a major influence in the community.
After two public hearings in June 2010, five members of the Housing Authority unanimously decided to introduce a ban on smoking in the total of 111 apartments and 20 apartments. The ban takes effect on 1 May 2011 in force.
Judging by Brian Boggia, the managing director of the Housing Authority, was the smoking ban by a large majority of residents wanted. The lead was there apparently a 82-year-old non-smoker. With her concern she had already made representations on several members of Congress, but who cared enough about she does not consider their problem. Unlike the Housing Authority. Here they began to check compliance with the law and concluded that a smoking ban is in the interiors of residences perfectly legal.
Boggia and his staff came to call the old lady just right, because they were tenants who smoke has long been a thorn in the side - especially in relation to the increased cost of renovating smokers.
According to Boggia, there were still more complaints from the tenants, he told the press: "They have gotten through the smoke in the hallways, which enters into their apartments. We have tried to solve this problem, but the only help is a complete ban on smoking. Filter systems are useless and even opening the window does not work. "
Apparently there are many news about fires in residences - one of them had actually been caused by a cigarette. Finally, the tenants were concerned not only about their own health but also about the children, grandchildren and visitors.
In the period until the entry into force of the ban want to provide the tenant with 5% fuming "aids to quitting." We're talking about literature, courses and "other relief".
Many of the smokers will have to accept this arrangement because they simply can not afford other housing. For the Boggia seems, however, that one will come to terms with his ban, because each tenant knows that "smoking is not socially acceptable anymore," was. His residences - that Boggia - are a role model for other American cities.

Yes, so far, unfortunately, can occur when one is doing anything about it! In the land of "unlimited freedom" has long been the freedom getretten with their feet and that is a frightening example of that!
These fanatics know absolutely no limits when it comes to other people impose their own ideology. They understand nothing of freedom, Privatsphere, reason and tolerance. They will never stop, they will go so far, how far do we let them!
There is only one solution, we must stop them!
I hope that the smokers slowly understand that they need to FIGHT!
