After two years of cigarette smoke seeping into her home, a Langley mom has launched an online petition to have smoking banned in all multi-unit residential buildings.

The for a 香蕉视频直播淢ulti-Unit Dwelling Smoking Ban in B.C.香蕉视频直播� by Naomi Baker (using her maiden name of Naomi Goffman) went up Sunday afternoon (Aug. 26) with a goal of 1,000 signatures.

By Tuesday, the number of signatures was past 700.

Baker said it was the birth of her daughter Faith three months ago that convinced her to take action.

香蕉视频直播淭hat definitely put us on high alert,香蕉视频直播� Baker said.

Baker and her husband bought their condo in Langley City in 2016.

They said they have been dealing with second-hand smoke coming into their unit through the walls and fixtures on a 香蕉视频直播渘ear-daily basis香蕉视频直播� since they purchased their suite.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e tried to seal every crack, use fans, open windows and avoid the rooms where the smoke is present,香蕉视频直播� Baker said.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e tried approaching the neighbour who smokes.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e also lodged multiple complaints to the strata asking for them to help address the issue, but all of our attempts have been unsuccessful to date. 香蕉视频直播�

Shortly before the Bakers moved in, strata council records show there was an attempt to make the building smoke-free, Baker said.

The next year, a motion to ban smoking on common property bylaw passed, something the Bakers said has actually made the situation worse because the smoker can香蕉视频直播檛 go out on their balcony.

香蕉视频直播淚 have a right to life, I have a right to health,香蕉视频直播� Baker said.

The Bakers put their condo up for sale in June.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e tolerated it as long as we can,香蕉视频直播� Baker said.

The Times has reached out to the condo strata council for comment.

The petition asks Selina Robinson, the minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, to make all multi-unit dwellings in BC smoke-free.

香蕉视频直播淪moke-free multi-unit dwellings will vastly improve the health of British Columbians, reduce the risk of apartment (and) condo fires, and reduce cost of health care by reducing preventable health issues caused by second hand smoke.香蕉视频直播�

The petition notes that the legislature currently doesn香蕉视频直播檛 accept digital signatures, and asks supporters to contact their local MLA and the minister directly.

Jack Boomer, director of the Clean Air Coalition of BC, said they get an average of two to three complaints a week about second-hand smoke.

香蕉视频直播淲e understand the frustration,香蕉视频直播� Boomer said.

香蕉视频直播淲hen people go to their workplace, they香蕉视频直播檙e protected (by law from second-hand smoke), but when they are in their castle, their home, they aren香蕉视频直播檛,香蕉视频直播� Boomer said.

He noted with recreational cannabis smoking about to become legal, 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 think second-hand smoke problems are about to go away.香蕉视频直播�

According to a new survey commissioned by the coalition, most people would support government measures to increase the amount of smoke-free multi-unit housing.

The May 2018 poll found that half of BC multi-unit housing residents surveyed have experienced second-hand smoke exposure and nearly 90 per cent consider it harmful.

Seventy per cent said the provincial government should make all new market rate and social housing complexes 100 per cent smoke-free and the same amount supported a no-smoking bylaw by default that applies to all units, including balconies.

Baker plans to create a 香蕉视频直播減aper-based petition香蕉视频直播� that will meet the legislature香蕉视频直播檚 submission guidelines.

Under the current 香蕉视频直播溝憬妒悠抵辈�� in B.C. people are not allowed to 香蕉视频直播渟moke tobacco, hold lighted tobacco, use an e-cigarette or hold an activated e-cigarette香蕉视频直播� in common areas of apartment buildings, condominiums and dormitories or transit shelters.

That includes elevators, hallways, parking garages, party or entertainment rooms, laundry facilities and lobbies.
