I am not a smoker, but I don't have any rules against it.Reasons stated are valid reasons for prohibiting smoking indoors - having a fire is not.The risk of having a fire is very low - and probably even lower for Dennis Tierney, since the other tenants are more aware of the dangers now.Taking a proactive approach to things is good - like prohibiting smoking indoors because of the wear on the unit, or outdoors because of the second-hand smoke.Being reactive to things like fires is bad.If you never had the fire, would it still be right for you to prohibit smoking outside?

Which sounds statistically more dangerous?

It's also important that you understand the distinction between manager managed and member managed.
