Smoke-Free Places in Santa Monica

Smoking tobacco is already prohibited at beaches, parks, restaurants and also near buildings in Santa Monica, but Tuesday the city council decided to enlarge the smoking prohibition and voted 4-2 to prohibit tobacco smoking for all new inhabitants of apartments and condos inside their homes, with one exception. “It also requires existing inhabitants to designate their areas as smoking or non-smoking and from then on it will be banned to smoke in a non-smoking place,” declared Adam Radinksy, head of the Consumer Protection Unit in Santa Monica.
