Well, let's face a few facts – smokers in general have scant regard for their own personal health and have less regard for the health of others.
They will smoke anywhere, including balconies, where they flick their waste (ash & butts) over the edge, and yes they don't care where their smoke ends up.
Apart from the polluting effect which includes; millions of butts going down drains and pouring into our waterways and the countless number of butts ending up on other balconies and in garden beds below – the fire hazards alone are frightening. In high rise apartment it's an accident waiting to happen.
As a motorcycle rider I'm constantly bombarded with butts and ash from smokers in front of me – they are completely oblivious to their actions.
It would be pointless to ban smoking in a particular apartment or on a particular level – unless of course it's on the top floor/level – where smoke wont affect others above them.
Let's give the smokers another wake up call and ban them from smoking on balconies as well as all other common areas (if not already in force).
Respect Non-Smokers
