The tarp/space heater is an awesome idea and one many restaurants around here are using. It's no coincidence that many of the most vehement anti-smokers (I mean like famous people) are from warmer states where going outside is not anything of an issue.
No one said anything about laws. The fact is, however, most rental properties are smoke free and most people I know that don't rent still smoke outside. You can end up spending a fortune trying to get the smell out when you go to sell it, and you probably won't be successful in getting rid of it entirely. Were my car worth anything I would never have smoked in it in the first place. Even some smokers might think it stinks too bad.

Like I said, I'm a smoker, and I don't understand what the big deal is. It's not worth ruining a dwelling and making anyone who doesn't smoke (which is the majority) uncomfortable when the solution is to just smoke outside. I just don't get it. And since there are ways to handle the crowd outside, it seems to be the solution.
