Didn’t Rush predict this stuff some years ago?
Nanny State PING!

Yes he did... However, I’m sure there are some people here who would support this measure. I’m not one of them..
How do they enforce that?
Pardon me for asking, but.........who cares? Its California; they get what they deserve. They elect these commiecrats to office, this is what they get.
California has become a giant amusement park for totalitarian government officials.
The citizens are like captive animals.
They can only live the way their captors want.
They can only eat what their captors want them to eat.
They can only have freedom as their captors define it.
Totalitarian government officials in other states, like Maryland, NY, Massachusetts, even Colorado, look at California and drool.
Landlords always had the right to ban or not ban smoking at their property.
Another Property Right down the tubes....
I am. I've known cases of people being horribly burned or killed because some clown three or four units over went to sleep with a cigarette in his mouth. Nobody deserves to die for that sort of reason.
People should be banned from cooking in apartments too.

But is it fair to impose the restrictions on conscientious smoker?
For example, one smoker I know has his final smoke of the day while soaking the bathtub. He told me he does this because he fears the very disaster you describe. He barely escaped electrocution when, as he soaked and listened to NPR his Bose radio fell of the shelf and barely missed the the tub.
Of course I know of one diurnal smoker who's found another solution: he rolls up a nicotine patch and uses it as a suppository. I confess I've not verified this, but he seems honest.
So let me get this straight.
In a california bedroom: you can get stoned out of your mind on weed (releasing all sorts of noxious fumes into the air), commit sodomy with whatever you picked up off the street and spread horrible diseases, but you can’t have a cigarette?
Why are there any sane people left in California anyway? I would have left there years ago if I were unfortunate enough to live in that cesspool
Of course this will not be enforced in “certain neighborhoods” aka Barrios.
“Californians should be able to breathe clean air in their own homes,”
In that case, we better ban cleaning supplies, shell fish and stinky recipes. Just to be on the safe side, let’s ban kitchens from homes.
The most frequent complaint I hear from apartment dwellers is the smell of marijuana smoke drifting from some nearby unit.
Does Cali intend to crack down on THAT? I doubt it.
“I am. I’ve known cases of people being horribly burned or killed because some clown three or four units over went to sleep with a cigarette in his mouth. Nobody deserves to die for that sort of reason.”
Many fires are started by electrical failures, let’s ban electricity from homes! Space heaters are another cause of fires, we better ban them too! No one deserves to die by being burned up as a result of someone elses desires for electrical conveniences or their desire to be warm!
Wow, this totalatarian mindset is rather easy!
It will start with the usual warning ticket, then escalate to a $100.00 or so fine. Then it gets to a $1000.00 fine, then jail time, then it moves to no knock raids and swat teams.
Making sure of course, it is taught in schools that this is a NO TOLERANCE law.
All in the name of your health and the health of your neighbors. Because YOUR governmnt knows what is good for you.
Tyrants NEVER sleep.
