Residents of Multi-Unit Housing Complexes
 
If the complex that you live in doesn't have a smoke-free policy, you may be inhaling another person's secondhand smoke!
 
There are many benefits that come with a smoke-free policy: 

Those who are non-smokers are not involuntarily exposed to the dangers of secondhand smoke.

Children and their developing lungs are no longer exposed.

Lowering the amount of secondhand smoke a person is exposed to, lowers the chance of acquiring respiratory problems or chronic illness associated with secondhand smoke in the future.
