Secondhand Smoke and Multiple Dwellings:
Secondhand smoke (SHS) is the third leading cause of preventable disease in the U.S. Approximately 50,000 individuals die each year as a result of SHS exposure. The smoking of neighbors poses a health threat to residents of apartments and condominium complexes. The thought of cancer-causing chemicals circulating throughout their apartments and condominiums can be quite unsettling. Secondhand smoke from one unit to another unit may seep through cracks, or travel by a shared ventilation system and enter into the living space of another. According to the 2006 Surgeon General's Report, " The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke", there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke.1
