CIGARETTE SMOKE IN A RENTAL ---- LAWSUIT WORTHY ?

My name is Nick and right now, I am currently living in a rental home.  Upon moving in, I painted the walls and ceilings noticing discoloration.  The previous tenant smoked in this home, and I am afraid that my healthy is being compromised as a result of the previous idiot's smoking.

I am wondering, is there a lawsuit here, can I get this idiot landlord for providing an unsafe living environment? 

I had suspicion that the previous tenant smoked, but I did not ask the landlord, nor did I know for sure, but now I am pretty sure.

Also, I believe that the ducts may be bad, and there may be mold..... Is there a suit for that?
Because this guy is the cheapest SOB in the entire world, and if he has compromised my health for his profit, I feel that that is lawsuit worthy

What are your opinions?
