Prohibiting smoking in all multi-family dwellings is very overdue. The scientific evidence over the past 50+ years shows again and again there is no way to keep it in the units of the smokers so it harms all those (via secondhand smoke impact) who live adjacent, under and over the smoker's unit. We along with many other residents experience this problem in our Maryland co-op. Smoking is a deadly and costly habit for society, not just the smokers. It's criminal that deep-pocketed Big Tobacco has so much control over politicians and building managers worldwide to keep this dangerous substance on the market. It has no upside except for those working in the tobacco industry and for the politicians who vote to keep this harmful industry very profitable.
