First Book on Secondhand Smoke in Condos, Co-ops & Apartment Buildings – How to Fight Back

First book on secondhand smoke in condos, co-ops and apartment buildings. How to defend yourself, loved ones and pets from this toxic threat.

This groundbreaking work explodes the myth that chain-smokers can do as they please in condos and multi-family buildings.

You’re no longer alone. We understand what you’re going through.

Chain-smoking abusers and their defenders want you to believe that you’re helpless – that there is little or no way to protect yourself and loved ones.

Chain-smokers are addicts. Addicts care little about the feelings or rights of others when they “must have” their fix.

Those who defend their right to poison you and your loved ones are not only wrong, but they’re complicitous.

This book gives you the tools to fight back.

SECONDHAND SMOKE CRIMES is a wake-up call for condo boards, co-op boards and property managers who protect the rights of chain-smokers over your right to a smoke-free home.

Dr. Starr weaves vital health facts and legal rights through fast-paced chapters.

Law makers and state legislatures are challenged to protect babies, children and non-smoking adults where they can least defend themselves – in multi-family buildings.

Do not accept victimization.

Do not allow chain-smoking bullies to ruin your health, endanger your family and harm your pets.

Learn about condo mom who won a landmark secondhand smoke case and how she did it.

Read about two women who stubbornly confronted condo board bullies who refused to protect their non-smoker rights.

We’re calling your neighbor’s secondhand smoke by its rightful name: A CRIME!

But we don’t stop there. We set forth your options and actions that must be taken.

If you know chain-smokers who need a wake-up call, send them this book. Help smokers understand how WE feel when THEY poison us.

They may FINALLY see smoking in a new “light.” If dire health facts can’t move a smoker, perhaps this book will.

Father’s Day: Honoring Dad | Dad was a Ruby – An American Treasure.

My Dad was a Ruby.

He was a gentle, quiet, wise and a truly righteous human being – devoted to family and friends.

When Ruby spoke, people listened.

I never heard him utter a foolish remark.

To act fairly at all times was his core belief. To do otherwise was against his nature. If he owed a nickle, he would return it. He abhorred dishonesty.

If he were alive today, I suspect he would be heart-sick. Nothing in his experience would have prepared him for such widespread political and economic corruption, profound waste and blatant falsehoods delivered daily by elected leaders. It just wouldn’t make sense.

A trillion or two for healthcare? My Dad never suffered a single major physical ailment.  He viewed pills and vitamins with suspicion. In his sixties and beyond, he arose daily at 4:30 a.m., rode a stationary bike for 20 minutes, plunged into the condo pool and swam for 30-40 minutes (counting laps), showered and then took an early morning walk. At 5:00 p.m., he took a second walk.  He never held a grudge or expressed envy for someone who had more.  He was grateful for life. This was his total health care plan.

My Dad took care of friends and neighbors in small ways that mattered a great deal.  Fellow students wrote in annual yearbooks how they turned to him for help with their studies. He was known as the best Board treasurer and most effective Board member in the history of his condo. Unit owners trusted his judgment and his integrity. He served as volunteer treasurer for 10 years.

After the loss of his wife, he volunteered at the local Community Center. The Center honored him as one of the best volunteers of the year. He taught himself Spanish in his eighties so that he could mentor young Hispanic children.

Though few could see it, he was highly emotional and deeply sentimental. Tears would often well up in his eyes when speaking about topics of the heart – his wife and children. When my mother’s health began to fail, he took full responsibility for her care. She was the jewel of his life.

Dad was the ultimate non-consumer. I never once heard him wish for any “thing” for himself. We delighted in buying him gifts for Father’s Day or birthdays, because we knew that he would never buy himself a gift.  He loved those personal gifts so much – a robe, slippers, a tie – that he refused to part with them – ever.

He had the crisp wit of a seasoned Hollywood writer. Even when memory was failing him, he remembered how to turn a phrase. He made me laugh to the very end.

Dad loved the smell of freshly brewed coffee, classical music, history, books and chocolate chip cookies.  The high life held no special appeal. He was too busy delighting in small pleasures and in the power of his mind. He mastered the computer near the end of his life because he knew he could.

Dad believed in hope. During the toughest of times he would say, “Don’t worry, tomorrow will be a better day.”  Choking back sorrow, I asked him, “How will I know that you’re still with me when you’re gone?” He responded, “I will be watching you from rainbows and shooting stars.”

My Dad taught me that right is might, your word is gold, love is all, and that humor heals the soul. My Dad was a Ruby, an authentic American treasure.
