Secondhand smoke in condos, co-ops and apartment buildings. How to defend yourself, loved ones and pets from this toxic threat. Winner of the 2010 USA Book News Award in the Home Health category.

You’re no longer alone. I understand what you’re going through.
We’ve battled with smokers on our corridor for years – a father and son.
The father is dying from cancer, but that doesn’t stop him from inhaling several packs a day. The son is studying radiology, but invites friends over for “smoking” parties – accelerating his father’s illness and shortening his own life. They have no feelings – let alone concern for their victims.
That’s why I wrote this book. It was imperative to present the health consequences and legal landscape in a way that our condo board could grasp – to make them understand that condo owners and renters have a right to clean indoor air!
A leading attorney is using the book in his university law class. Our condo board is finally adopting new clean indoor air rules. The book made a difference. I finally had a leg to stand on.
Chain-smoking abusers and their defenders believe you’re helpless – that you can’t protect yourself and loved ones from toxic secondhand smoke fumes that enter your home and/or saturate common area corridors.
Chain-smokers are addicts. Addicts care little about the feelings or rights of others when they “must have” their fix. Just as they blacken their own lungs, hearts and teeth, they also destroy your DNA. That’s right – your DNA!!!
This book gives you the strength and strategies 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.
Condo board members and condo managers who defend smoker rights are complicitous “enablers.”
This work explodes the myth that chain-smokers can do as they please in condos and multifamily buildings. It champions your right to clean indoor air. Law makers and state legislatures are challenged to protect babies, children and non-smoking adults where they can least defend themselves – in multifamily buildings.
