Donna,
As a "property manager" its important to pick your battles. If you say "No Smoking" in your lease, are you prepared to evict a tenant if they do. As long as the rent gets paid on time, don't rock the boat. The smell of smoke will get into the carpeting and drapes if you have them and will need cleaning. Additionally, you may need to paint when your tenant moves, so there will be costs associated with smokers. Add an extra $25 per month to his rent and hope he stays for a long time...
Regards,
tim
