maye not as bad as it sounds. can only be enforced by neighbors in small claims ct, not cops.
so…if you’re really smoking in your apt, with windows closed, not getting smoke into anyone else…you’ll be fine…no one will know you’re smoking or care.
Small claims court? Thus giving neighbors another avenue of harassment against other neighbors that they don’t like. Unlike loud music or things like spite-fences, smoke odor is hard to prove since it can’t be recorded.
Enforcement by police would almost be better, since cops generally have more important things to do than be the nanny-patrol.
BTW – I’m not sure if smoking with windows closed is actually better. Most walls are somewhat porous — better to let it out rather than having a stinky apt that would stink up the neighbors as well.
My rule in the car and in my apt is, “if you smoke, it better be next to an open window, even if it’s 10F outside.”
