Second-hand Smoke in Multi-unit Buildings

The smoke-free housing movement is about helping to increase options for smoke-free living. It is not about denying smokers a place to live, or evicting smokers from their present homes, or forcing people to quit smoking.

Hamilton residents are protected from second hand smoke in most workplaces and public places, yet many are exposed to this dangerous substance in their own homes.
