Thanks Whale for your reply. Our building has been thinking about this for a long time, before all the recent publicity. Of the owners and owner occupiers in our building of eight lots, not one is a smoker, so we think we have the numbers to pass this. Even if the Special Resolution is passed (and the special by-law added to our Strata Plan) that prevents smoking, even though it may be difficult to enforce it will certainly make prospective new owners think twice before buying into our building should a present owner decide to sell in the future. New owners will know in advance that smoking will not be looked upon favourably and hopefully this will persude smokers not to buy in.
Please note though that a Special By-Law that prevents residents from smoking inside their Lots is already in place in a number of buildings in Australia.
