Many rental property owners do not want to rent to people who smoke.  There are good reasons for this, like the walls and carpet get smelly and discolored.  But is it legal to do this?

I think it would be hard to justify telling a potential tenant what they can and cannot do.  How can you tell someone to not smoke?

What I know you can do is tell your tenants that they cannot smoke while at the property.  In a single family home this means inside.  In an apartment, you could also restrict smoking in some common areas.   

You can be a smoker, just don't smoke in my house!

Here is the clause in HomePointe's Rental Agreement:

No smoking is allowed in the rental property or in any common areas that may affect other residents.
