Ignoring any discussion that may kick the thread off to OMNI/PR, apparently it is legal in MA for a landlord to ban smoking. At least one insurance company may have gotten into the game offering insurance discounts for rental property owners that do so. This may be creating more options for the type of housing you seek.
