Ban Smoking inside Flats and Terraced Housing (including on balconies) in the UK
Many people struggle with passive smoke and tobacco smell in their own homes, particularly in flats & terraced housing - because of neighboring smoke. Daily, many are suffering with asthma and respiratory problems, as a result of this. As well as, those who have or are trying to quit smoking.
Smoking inside flats or terraced housing (or 'outside' on balconies') can result in the following:
- Private nuisance, i.e. a resident cannot enjoy the comfort and environment of their own home.
- Passive smoking, i.e. injurious and harmful to health. See 'Smoke Free NHS' for more information on this.
- The smell of stale tobacco inside neighboring, your own and also properties. This makes the properties harder to rent or sell, lowering its value.
- Environmental and Social factors
