In reality, it's more of an a$$hole problem than a cig smoker problem, even though pound for pound, the cig
smoker is much less sensitive to the concerns of others. But I'll put to you an example. One of the orignators
of this forum spends millions of dollars every year having a lot of us up to his summer place for a little herf he
calls the Shack. Well we are all grooving on the awesome sunset and there goes a big fat cigar floating by
our deck chairs. Someone cared so little about our host's feelings and had so little respect for his property
that they just tossed a big fat cigar but into Sandusky Bay. OR they did not have enough physics training
to understand that it was not going to sink, thereby allowing them to be insensitive prick$ and not get caught.

It's all about how much sense you have and repsect for others you have. And as to your particular problem,
I would smoke and let em come and remind me there was a rule. Then maybe I'd stop. But for God's sake,
don't forget yourself and toss that butt.

My friends are polite with throwing away their butts and I still find them in my yard!

Then again, I find cigar butts in my yard and I know I throw them away.

From http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/di...&file=818-827:

827. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), in all leases of
lands or tenements, or of any interest therein, from week to week,
month to month, or other period less than a month, the landlord may,
upon giving notice in writing to the tenant, in the manner prescribed
by Section 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure, change the terms of
the lease to take effect[...]; provided,however, that it shall be
competent for the parties to provide by anagreement in writing that
a notice changing the terms thereof may be given at any time not less
than seven days before the expiration of a term, to be effective upon
the expiration of the term.


From CA law it looks like they need to inform you 7+ days before the lease ends to make a change that takes effect when the lease ends. I'm no lawyer, but I've had some luck printing out and reminding landlords how local tenant law works. Most of them simply don't want the legal hassle.
