Many apartment buildings offer smoke-free units, or do not permit smoking in common areas such as hallways, courtyards, and lobbies.  However, the problem with this strategy is that secondhand smoke can still drift from individual apartments to the hallways, and even into surrounding apartment homes.  This can disrupt your ability to relax and enjoy your apartment in peace, and subjects you to the dangers of secondhand smoke.

One other reason for concern about smoking in apartments is the increased risk of fires.  Smoking is the #1 cause of residential fires in Maryland, causing more damage overall than most other types of fires.  Visit Maryland Smoke Free Apartments for more information on how a smoky environment can affect your lifestyle.

Some residents may also haves serious breathing disabilities or allergies that cause smoke to have a more drastic affect on their lives.  If you can’t or don’t want to live with cigarette smoke, you may have had difficulty finding a non-smoking building.  This is because many landlords are not aware that they can designate whole and partial buildings as non-smoking areas.
