Lease Clauses: Smoking/Drugs/Firearms

So I know how to add a no smoking clause to a lease however I have learned over the years that if its not in writing, you cant enforce it & my last tenants had firearms and were doing illegal drugs on the premises.

How can I add this to my lease? Here's what I have so far: No smoking of any substance is allowed on the premises. Tenant (s) shall not smoke, nor permit anyone to smoke, inside the property at any time. This includes smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes or any other smoking device. Tenant is responsible for all damage caused by the smoking including, but not limited to, stains, burns, odors, and removal of debris.

TENANT(S) using, possessing or selling illegal drugs will be subject to possible eviction. No warning notice will be given and eviction may be assessed at the LANDLORD’S discretion

However, I dont know what language to write about the weapons... trust me I know people do whatever they want to do BUT it cant hurt to have it on the lease
