Many renters are now finding that they can not light up even in the homes/ apartments they rent."

That sound good to me. Since smokers are now in the minority, the odds are that the next person to rent that apartment will be a non-smoker. There's no good reason why a non-smoking tenant should have to put up with residual odors left by a previous occupant who lived and smoked there for years. At the very least, I see no reason why a smoking tenant shouldn't pay premium rent for a smoking-designated apartment or a higher security deposit for de-odorizing the premises when he vacates.
