pilot study on nicotine residues in houses of electronic cigarette users, tobacco smokers, and non s

32. Wait, hold on.

I'm willing to consider that vaping is a reasonable harm reduction strategy for cigarette smokers, the evidence does seem to be leaning in that direction. But nicotine addiction isn't up for debate. Hell, just read this thread.

And as far as housing goes? I used to manage rentals, and we had one unit where we had to do the following to destink it:

remove and discard the drapes, carpet and pad, seal all porous surfaces including the drywall and concrete slab, run an ozone machine for two weeks (normally used for fire remediation,) repaint everything, install new flooring and window treatments. That ran about $2500, not including labor or lost rent.

There was still a lingering odor! I think it had saturated the kitchen cabinets, but who knows?

Since we legally could not require a deposit nearly sufficient to undo the damage caused by one chain smoker we quit renting to smokers. Because math.
