SanFran: Public safety requires no smoking or vaping in apts. But, toke away!

[phill4paul]

The mental gymnastics....

Apartment lessees in San Francisco will have to abide to some new rules regarding their homes – which include not being allowed to smoke or vape and “tobacco” products inside of their apartment (if the apartment building holds three or more units).

This will likely serve as an inconvenience to apartment renters who enjoyed leisurely smoking or vaping tobacco products inside their homes.

On the other hand, this ban undoubtedly will sit well with occupiers of connected units who didn’t care for cigarettes smoke making its way through their vents.


However, if an apartment renter is dealing with marijuana smoke coming through their vents in San Francisco due to a neighbor sparking up in the adjacent dwelling, there’s zero respite for said renter bombarded with that marijuana smoke.

That’s because this ban on smoking only relates to tobacco smoking/vaping and specifically exempts marijuana use inside of apartments.

In a 8-3 vote in favor of Mandelman’s amendment, marijuana smokers will be unaffected by the apartment smoking ban when it relates to lighting up indoors.

And one of the biggest reasons why this was accomplished mainly had to do with the law – in that tobacco smokers can smoke freely outdoors whereas marijuana smokers cannot.

Mandelman explained it as follows:

“Tobacco smokers unable to smoke in their apartment building can go out to the curb or find other public space.”

“There are other public spaces where they are allowed to smoke. Cannabis smokers don’t have that alternative and so I think it is important that we fully exempt cannabis from this legislation.”

Well there shouldn't be a law, of course.. and definitely should be able to vape nicotine, not sure how they would even enforce that.. but I understand why property owners might not allow smoking cigs while allowing herb. In fact, more places that don't allow smoking of any kind should allow for cannabis.

If I owned a property and was renting it, I would consider making tobacco smoking indoors against the rules but allow for herb.

Tobacco smells stick on the walls and the carpet and everything, it smells forever, like an old Vegas hotel. One could call it damage.

Cannabis has a strong initial odor, but it doesn't last. No lasting damage done.

Doesn't matter if you did own the property in San Fran. This is the law. No matter what mental gymnastics it took to create it.

When we move to the digital currency, human actions will be the mining force for the crypto currency forced upon us. This is why everything about us will be moved into a digital medium that is tracked and traced everywhere we go. They will naturally want to move humanity in a direction that is good for the economy.

I'm not sure how much that will be worth in the new economy.

Thats a Leftist city for you.

Ban smoking. Ban talking. Pro pedophilia. Pro every other drug, both legal and illegal, so heavily medicated, but you cant smoke because that is the only "drug" to kill people. Smoking CRACK, thats just fine because its a sexual orientation.
