Welcome to our Smoke-Free Property

Reminder: We are now a smoke-free property.

Reasons to quit smoking:

  • Healthier Living for Everyone. Second-hand smoke may cause asthma attacks, cancer and heart disease. It is very harmful to pregnant women, children and older adults. Second-hand smoke can easily move between apartments. Going smoke-free indoors protects the health of all residents.
  • Safer Living for Everyone. Smoking is the top cause of death from fires in homes. Smoke-free housing lowers the threat of fires caused by smoking. Smoke-free housing protects residents from fire caused by smoking.
  • Third-hand Smoke. Third-hand smoke is the nicotine and other chemicals left by tobacco smoke in apartments on things like carpets, walls, and blinds. It remains in the apartment long after smoking has stopped.
