Event Details

Smoking is a leading cause of fires and the number one cause of fire fatalities. There is no safe amount of secondhand smoke; third-hand smoke exposure, or the residue left after the smoke is gone, is also dangerous, difficult, and expensive to remove. Join our panel as we discuss a suggested process for converting apartments to smoke-free housing, including policy decisions, documentation, enforcement options, and tools to help you and your residents with these adjustments.
