In July 2006, a smoke-free 53-unit housing complex opened on Cummer Ave. in North York. In 2008, the owner said one tenant had left because of the policy.

The first quote is the big problem. If you want the privilege (not right) of smoking in your home, then pay for somewhere you can - if you can't, go outside. Do you know how many families I know across the province that smoke in their apartment with their kids, and then secondhand smoke gets in the next door apartment with the neighbour's kids? It's pathetic.
I'm pretty sure that smoke-free building is where some friends of mine lived a while back - I know it was a new-build on that street and affordable, because the rest of it is mostly big homes and such. They found it a great space when they were there.
