SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- A California ordinance that prohibits smoking in residences with shared walls may be the strictest anti-smoking law in the United States, city officials say.

The ban, passed by the city of San Rafael, applies to both owners and renters, ABC News reported Thursday.

It covers any multi-family residence with three or more units, including condominiums, co-ops and apartments. The ban took effect Nov. 14.

The perfect town for you.

Bet they’ll let you smoke weed, however.

These goofyass governors in the goofyass states all seem to be engaged in a contest to see who can become more like the old Third Reich first.

The Puritans are on a rampage. I wonder how much longer before they’ll simply ban cigarettes somewhere.

The dangerous behavior of smoking - banned by the government even in your own bedroom

The dangerous behavior of the gay lifestyle - promoted and celebrated by the same government

So it is not really about health - is it?

If majority voters don’t like the law. but don’t lift a finger to elect lawmakers who will repeal the law, then voters can quit smoking or face the consequences.

It’s so wonderful to have emphysema and have your apartment filled with cigarette smoke from the next apartment.

So why, in your view, is smoking equivalent to child molestation. I’d like to hear the explanation coming from such a disturbed mind as yours.

I respect your views that concern the consequences of smoking, and I know you’re attacked for it. But resorting to the charge you just made in retaliation is reckless.

It must be wonderful to live in a fantasy land where things happen without cause and effect.

Sure, why not?

But I simply don't see why landlords can't set rules for their apartment buildings, designating their buildings as smoking or non-smoking. Let the market decide.
