MILFORD, Ohio - An 89-year-old southwest Ohio woman is preparing to move out of her home of the last 10 years because it has gone smoke-free.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Beulah "Billie" Toombs faces eviction after being deemed non-compliant by her apartment building's management. A smoker for seven decades or so, she thinks she should be allowed to do what she wants in her own home.
But more than a year ago, the management of the apartments for low-income seniors announced a smoke-free policy. Residents already there were allowed one year of smoking with some conditions. When the smoke-free policy kicked in this year, neighbors reported Toombs' smoking, and a regular apartment inspection this month found cigarette butts and ashtrays in her unit.
So Toombs is looking for a new home.
The same toxic liberals who gave her the taxpayer subsidized HUD apartment? She can solve her problem by ceasing to be a taker and finding housing on the free market, which is the path she’s apparently chosen.
Yet the is a group of FReepers that believe 'cause they share her addiction, it's perfectly OK with them that she spend $5,000 a year on elective smokes while the taxpayers subsides her rent.
