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.https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/...pts-marijuana-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.”
