The interior was badly stained with tobacco so I paid painters to do 3 coats of interior oil-based primer and neutral gray in the other rooms.

In the exact same way that big tobacco had taxes levied and legislation levied to make them actually account for the consequences of their methods, lies and damage.If people are anti-carbon tax then I can only assume they would welcome a removal of subsidies and the taxes that provide for them for fossil fuels.

We had a similar situation a few years ago, walls were tobacco colored, My maintenance guys used 3 coats of think primer before painting an thoroughly cleaned out the duct work and that seemed to get rid of the smoke smell.

Sounds like a place I'm going to have to go visit.For SURE if you have never been.. and not sure where the loonie is .. but other than Gas and Booze and Tobacco your dollar goes a long way in BC.. and if by chance your Keen on House boating..

Check your current city/state regulations.For instance in King County, Wa they added electronic cigarettes into the definition of tobacco products.  

On average it costs us about $2000 to eradicate tobacco/marijuana smoke from a two bedroom unit. 

Hence gun makers, tobacco companies, polluting energy companies all make legal profits at the expense of society, the environment and the general public.

But I'm a big burly guy driving a jacked up 4x4 with tobacco in my mouth.

They drive jacked up 4x4s, have neck tats and chew tobacco for breakfast. 

They chew tobacco in their sleep and have neck tats.
