Yes, but there&#x27;s a huge subjective difference between saying &quot;You&#x27;re an asshole, stop smoking up in a shared-wall-dwelling&quot; and &quot;You&#x27;re a criminal, go to jail&quot;.  Most managers are happy to address nuisance issues, but would rather <i>reduce</i> the number of police calls to the property.<p>Same thing with public smoking laws.  People smoking up in a park upwind of people deserve a small ticket, an age check, and a harshed mellow.  They do not deserve arrest and prosecution on drug laws.<p>Enforcement of disproportionate punishment is less attractive to sane humans.
