Ever wondered what you could do about secondhand smoke in your apartment or home? As an Ohio resident, you have rights and options when it comes to secondhand smoke.

Today, more and more rental properties throughout the state are offering smoke-free buildings. If you live in an apartment or condo where your neighbors smoke, you can take steps to smoke-proof your home. You may also be able to work with your neighbors and your property manager or owner to reduce or eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.

Ohio’s laws also provide you with a number of protections, and the information on this site can help you understand and assert your rights. You can also download our Smoke-Free Housing Toolkit and search for smoke-free housing in your area.
