 Welcome. Please be advised that the Tobacco Public Policy Center's funding source, the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation, was recently abolished by the Ohio state legislature. As a result, the Tobacco Public Policy Center at Capital University Law School no longer maintains paid staff, and no one is available to address specific questions. At the present time, the information on this website remains available for review. Please note that the website was last updated on or around July 1, 2008, and will no longer be updated. The content on this website is scheduled to be removed on or shortly after December 31, 2008. |

What if I smoke?It is important to remember that there is no legally-protected “right to smoke” and that smoking, even in your own apartment, may be hurting the health and safety of your neighbors. Property managers and owners can implement a smoke-free policy by adding a smoke-free clause when leases are renewed. Although you may legally be able to continue smoking in your apartment until that time, there’s no need to wait. Show concern for the health and safety of your neighbors and step outside to smoke. To protect your health, the best thing you can do is quit smoking. And sometimes, living in a smoke-free building may provide just the incentive you need! Additional help with quitting smoking is available by calling the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line at 800-QUIT-NOW or by visiting the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation at www.OTPF.org. |
