Where there's smoke, there's a vacancy

HOMES: Since fewer and fewer people smoke, it's likely there are more and more people who are intolerant of it for health or personal reasons. There are rental units with those people in mind; for them there's the Smokefree Apartment House Registry. Reseda has such a listing (scroll alphabetically). It's rented.

A tangent: (via their links page) For those who are really, really intolerant-- you can test to discover if you've been exposed to secondhand smoke (though most of us would sniff). TobacAlert's urine test is for:
Detection of recent second hand smoke exposure. Potential users include parents of young children, workers in a smoky workplace and other persons concerned about the harmful effects of second hand smoke.

Detection, verification and monitoring of tobacco use status. Potential users include smokers trying to quit, parents worried about whether a teenaged child may be smoking, coaches, insurance companies and smoking cessation counsellors.

It's patented.
