Smoke Free Family Friendly Living Spaces for Phoenixville
Commit to making all apartment complexes in Phoenixville smoke-free. Create designated smoking areas so second-hand or side-stream smoke is less likely to enter the apartments/living spaces of those who do not smoke.
Why is this important?
Living in a non-smoking apartment complex is nice, but that only applies to inside the apartments; this does not stop people from sitting and smoking directly outside of their doors where the wind can carry that smoke inside your apartment. Many towns across the nation have implemented shared space rulings that limit smoking to designated areas so non-smokers are not forced to breath in second-hand and sidestream smoke. We hope that Phoenixville would implement a similar public health ordinance.
