After two years of cigarette smoke seeping into her home, a Langley mom has launched an online petition to have smoking banned in all multi-unit residential buildings.

The for a 91裸聊视频淢ulti-Unit Dwelling Smoking Ban in B.C.91裸聊视频� by Naomi Baker (using her maiden name of Naomi Goffman) went up Sunday afternoon (Aug. 26) with a goal of 1,000 signatures.

By Tuesday, the number of signatures was past 700.

Baker said it was the birth of her daughter Faith three months ago that convinced her to take action.

91裸聊视频淭hat definitely put us on high alert,91裸聊视频� Baker said.

Baker and her husband bought their condo in Langley City in 2016.

They said they have been dealing with second-hand smoke coming into their unit through the walls and fixtures on a 91裸聊视频渘ear-daily basis91裸聊视频� since they purchased their suite.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e tried to seal every crack, use fans, open windows and avoid the rooms where the smoke is present,91裸聊视频� Baker said.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e tried approaching the neighbour who smokes.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e also lodged multiple complaints to the strata asking for them to help address the issue, but all of our attempts have been unsuccessful to date. 91裸聊视频�

Shortly before the Bakers moved in, strata council records show there was an attempt to make the building smoke-free, Baker said.

The next year, a motion to ban smoking on common property bylaw passed, something the Bakers said has actually made the situation worse because the smoker can91裸聊视频檛 go out on their balcony.

91裸聊视频淚 have a right to life, I have a right to health,91裸聊视频� Baker said.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 not allowed to poison anyone else.91裸聊视频�

The Bakers put their condo up for sale in June.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e tolerated it as long as we can,91裸聊视频� Baker said.

The Times has reached out to the condo strata council for comment.

The petition asks Selina Robinson, the minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, to make all multi-unit dwellings in BC smoke-free.

91裸聊视频淪moke-free multi-unit dwellings will vastly improve the health of British Columbians, reduce the risk of apartment (and) condo fires, and reduce cost of health care by reducing preventable health issues caused by second hand smoke.91裸聊视频�

The petition notes that the legislature currently doesn91裸聊视频檛 accept digital signatures, and asks supporters to contact their local MLA and the minister directly.

Jack Boomer, director of the Clean Air Coalition of BC, said they get an average of two to three complaints a week about second-hand smoke.

91裸聊视频淲e understand the frustration,91裸聊视频� Boomer said.

91裸聊视频淲hen people go to their workplace, they91裸聊视频檙e protected (by law from second-hand smoke), but when they are in their castle, their home, they aren91裸聊视频檛,91裸聊视频� Boomer said.

He noted with recreational cannabis smoking about to become legal, 91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 think second-hand smoke problems are about to go away.91裸聊视频�

According to a new survey commissioned by the coalition, most people would support government measures to increase the amount of smoke-free multi-unit housing.

The May 2018 poll found that half of BC multi-unit housing residents surveyed have experienced second-hand smoke exposure and nearly 90 per cent consider it harmful.

Seventy per cent said the provincial government should make all new market rate and social housing complexes 100 per cent smoke-free and the same amount supported a no-smoking bylaw by default that applies to all units, including balconies.

Baker plans to create a 91裸聊视频減aper-based petition91裸聊视频� that will meet the legislature91裸聊视频檚 submission guidelines.

Under the current 91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� in B.C. people are not allowed to 91裸聊视频渟moke tobacco, hold lighted tobacco, use an e-cigarette or hold an activated e-cigarette91裸聊视频� in common areas of apartment buildings, condominiums and dormitories or transit shelters.

That includes elevators, hallways, parking garages, party or entertainment rooms, laundry facilities and lobbies.
