If you like smoking marijuana in your apartment, it may become a problem if you’re a resident of San Francisco.
The city’s politicians are considering a policy that would ban smoking inside private dwellings located in apartments with three or more units.
Last week a committee of the city’s Board of Supervisors voted to advance a bill that would ban the above.
According to the San Francisco Examiner, the restrictions would apply not just to tobacco products, but also to smoking marijuana and even to vaping.
Bill sponsor Supervisor Norman Yee is aiming to protect nonsmoking apartment dwellers from the fumes of their inconsiderate neighbors.
“I’m proud to help residents avoid being exposed to secondhand smoke in their own homes,” Yee tweeted. “Smoke easily moves between units and buildings. Now that more of us work from home, it’s more important than ever because there is no way to contain it.”
San Francisco currently bans smoking in the enclosed common areas of multi-unit buildings. Yee’s proposal would extend this to the interiors of those buildings’ private homes, as well as to balconies and patios.
