We want to help you protect your home and create a safe healthy space for your family. Join us in supporting smoke-free communities and reducing exposure to secondhand smoke in your home and outdoor areas. If home is where the heart is an we spend most of our time at home, it is important to protect our hearts (and lungs) from the deadly effects of smoke, vapes and marijuana.
The situation is more complex for residents of multi-unit housing, such as apartments, duplexes, townhomes, and condominiums. Although residents may have a smokefree policy for their own unit, secondhand smoke from neighbors who smoke in or around the building can travel through the building and into neighboring units through walls, hallways, ventilation systems, outlets, and gaps around fixtures, lead to exposure. Unfortunately, many people are still faced with breathing secondhand smoke that drifts into their apartment or condominium from other units or common areas.

Secondhand smoke is what smokers breathe out (and both smokers and non-smokers can breathe in)! It is also the smoke that comes from a burning cigarette, cigar or pipe. It is sometimes called environmental tobacco smoke. Learn more here.
Residents can contact The SOL Project anonymously if there is a need to report a multi-unit housing smoking complaint in your apartment, condominium, townhome, or duplex in Sacramento County. Click here to submit your complaint or contact: [email protected] or 888.774-7685, ext. 500.
ChangeLab Solutions has developed a model ordinance to help California cities and counties limit exposure to secondhand smoke in multi-unit residences such as apartment buildings, condominium complexes, senior housing, and single resident occupancy hotels. Click here to read full article.
