Canada mulls banning smoking in apartments

Smoking seems to be under attack worldwide as people realize that secondhand smoke can be just as devastating to non-smokers as those who smoke cigarettes. The freedom to smoke in your own home or in the open air are still placed where smokers can go to smoke, but if Toronto, Canada gets its way, smoking may be banned from apartment buildings.

What do you think? Smoking in apartment buildings, which generally have interconnected airways for ventilation, can expose non-smoking residents to secondhand smoke -- definitely not a good thing. But then again, one's own living quarters is about the only place left for many to smoke these days with public bans coming to countries around the globe.
