I/We are smokers.	0	44

1. If it can be done legally (and with probable exceptions such as for religious or medical purposes), I would support an amendment to prohibit smoking in any area of the building

2. While I haven’t (regularly) smoked cigarettes in a good long while (& when I did I went outside), I’m not a huge fan of being told what I can and can’t do inside my own home, and I would hope any neighbors with concerns about my behavior affecting them would bring it up with me instead of jumping to proposing amendments. I also object to the grandfathering clause in that it means making rules that don’t apply to me and that is, frankly, gross as all hell.

3. I don’t like seeing cigarette butts in front of the building everywhere I go in and out. I would favor smoking ban but not inside peoples units. That’s their space. Several years ago the people in front of me and next to me smoked and blew inside, out, and under, and I could smell it constantly. I understand other unit owner’s frustrations. Thanks for looking into this matter.

4. I recognize that many object to smoking, but many people do smoke and should be able to smoke in their home just as they are able to drink or exercise other personal liberties. Also, I think if we do adopt this policy we need to provide real smoking patios with seats and ash trays and covers. This proposal feels like a puritanical hunt. And what about medical mj? People have a right to their medical care/prescriptions. I think we are inviting trouble.

5. I support a “grandfathering” clause for owners. For tenants only until the end of the current year’s lease.

6. I believe that smokers should go outside to smoke; the smell fills up hallways and condos. I chose not to smoke and therefore shouldn’t have to smell it in my home. On a side note, there are also a number of people who smoke pot in their units which stinks up everything.

7. Could board members go door to door to get the vote of owners who fail to respond by mail deadline? Would like to see a real vote. Do not support grandfathering; this action may help someone stop smoking who can’t do it on their own. Thanks for the vote!

8. I support some kind of discipline if not obeying the rules. And for these who are grandfathered some kind of filters that would prevent smoke from entering other units.

9. As a person with breathing problems, I think it’s a great idea. Thank you.

10. While I am actually not a smoker, having the option available for guests who are is nice.

11. The grandfathering for current owners or residents is a nice idea but it makes it too difficult too enforce it for others.

12. I don’t smoke, but I reject a plan to ban owners from smoking in their own homes. I do absolutely support a ban on smoking by renters and in all common/public areas, including outside the building. Home owners should have the right to smoke in their own homes however

13. In theory, great idea. Grandfathering has to be part of the Amendment but, of course, proponents of this amendment have to be clear that the process to make this complex completely smoke free will be years in the making. Be that as it may, to reach any goal, a process must begin somewhere!

14. If other unit owners could assure me that while they are smoking in their units no smoke would be passed on to other units, I wouldn’t have this opinion. In the past, on numerous occasions, I have unfortunately have smelled a strong odor of cigarette smoke in my unit. Thank you for taking the time to address this issue

15. How will it be enforced? Seems most of the rules and regulations are either ignored or not monitored. I agree with no smoking but feel it will just be another thing that won’t be dealt with.

16. I am in favor of the no smoking policy in both the common areas and in all condominium units for safety and health reasons. As a non-smoker I am concerned about the effects of second-hand smoke from the usual tobacco products but increasingly from marijuana skunk odors circulating thru the bathroom, kitchen vents and heating & AC vents. There is more info being released about the second hand smoke effects of this drug. Perhaps adopting a no-smoking policy will encourage and help smokers to quit. (1) I would like the Board to aggressively contact all residents who do not reply to this mailing for their input also. (2) I would like to see the final response numbers of this survey. (a) Total number of owners responding (b) Total number of owners in favor of adopting the no-smoking policy (c) Total number of owners not in favor of adopting the no-smoking policy (d) Total number of owners not responding

17. Any insurance benefit?

18. Banning behavior inside someone’s private property is an invasion of privacy & overreach. I would be in favor of solutions individual unit owners can put in place to filter their vents.

19. What happens legally within my unit is my business.

20. No smoking policy is an excellent proposal. Smoking causes COPD and eventually emphysema. I was a former smoker for years; quit in 1988. But the damage was already done to the lungs. Although, it is not easy to quit.
