Living in a smoke-free home is a choice everyone should have. For some people living in apartments, breathing secondhand smoke from neighboring apartments is a real health problem. The next big challenge facing the tobacco control movement in California is how to address the problem of secondhand smoke exposure in the home.
Smoking in multi-unit housing can be accomplished through legislative or voluntary policies.
