@Kenneth Garrett I have a no smoking policy in the interior of my properties, but tenants can smoke outside on their patios or backyards, this is inclusive of vaping. 

We haven't had any tenant who didn't smoke inside once the weather got bad, no matter what they promised at the start.Also, people who smoke have a greater likelihood of taking up other addictive habits as well.... drugs, gambling, etc.Here's a copy of our No-Smoking policy, which has worked well for us:NO-SMOKING POLICY.Tenant acknowledges the premises are designated as smoke-free and agrees not to smoke and will not allow any of their family or guests to smoke on the premises, either inside the unit or outside on adjoining grounds.Tenant agrees to abide by this no-smoking policy.This includes smoking tobacco, marijuana, any other substance, and vaping.

This kind of policy can cover tobacco, marijuana, and vaping chemicals too.
