Research shows that when people smoke in multi-unit dwellings, it permeates the walls and invades other people's homes. This is far more than simply an unpleasant odour; the health effects of secondhand smoke are non-debatable. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11969074 http://vitals.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/30/11473208-non-smoking-apartment-dwellers-have-secondhand-smoke-risk?lite All I want is some choice. Designate certain residential buildings as completely non-smoking, so smokers can live together without harming non-smokers, or ban smoking in flats altogether. There is no right to smoke; at least not one which supersedes the health of others who have no choice, especially children who are at the greatest risk.
