All HUD Public Housing is going totally smoke free!

Great news, more and more laws are being made to make smoking free living!  I live in a HUD Senior Apt. complex and there are several smokers here, including the manager!  Last year we did go partially smoke free, no smoking in the units which actually created a nightmare.  Smokers can smoke on their patios....so about 5  or 6 smokers congregate on a patio which is horrible to live near!  Or even walk by the area!  Many residents have to walk to other areas of the complex using a different way because the smoke is so strong.  Even the Manager has refused to obey the rules that smokers have to be 20 feet from the business office to smoke!  She was reported about 4 times and FINALLY is complying.  Oh yes, I understand...I was one that was a ruthless, selfish smoker...that is part of the addictive behaviour.  Looking back, I am ashamed at my desperation and selfishness.  Thank God, I quit!

 

Of course, HUD housing is low income and one wonders how the smokers can afford to buy the nasty sticks.  Ahhh, addictive behavior again...cigs before bills, etc.!  :(

 

Hopefully, this new ruling will give some smokers the incentive to quit!  I definately is going to make a difference in the harm that second hand smoke does!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
