Tell Your Story

Submit your "smoke-free" story or photo!

In a few sentences, share why you support smoke-free housing. For Example:

  • Landlords, tell us how you decided to go smoke-free. How has it affected your business? How have residents responded?
  • Residents, tell us why you prefer smoke-free housing.
  • If you can, use words and pictures to share the smoke-related damage you've seen (yello walls, cigarette burns, trashed carpets or unpleasant odors.)

We may reach out to you to confirm your submission. You can also contact your health department for local support.

For more information about how to go smoke-free, visit the Smoke-free Housing Interactive Guide.
