<DIV id=yiv1895488303>Wow; that was really offensive.

<DIV>I think it's pretty obvious that any kind of second-hand smoke is detrimental to one's health. This isn't an exhaustive study but here's some primary literature showing that outdoor secondhand smoke decreases health in children (Figure 2 specifically).</DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>No one should be walking on the roof; it is not good for the surface of it, and will mean that we have to replace the roof sooner, which is a big expense.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Common areas would be the hallways and foyer (and laundry and storage rooms), the parking lot and the front yard up to the sidewalk, which I imagine is the line of our property. Your unit is your private area; people can smoke in there. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(I am not writing as the "official" word...but I do know that the roof is supposed to be off limits, and as an owner, I am invested in its lasting as long as it can. And I am personally very bothered by smoke coming into my unit through the windows, or having to walk through cigarette smoke in the hallways.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your cooperation!</DIV>
