Buildings. The hazards as we said before of second hand smoke is well documented. Theres no safe exposure level, its cancercausing, its toxic, it leads to thousands and thousands of deaths each year and by limiting access to second hand smoke, its protecting peoples health. Also, when people live in close proximity to units where there are smokers in apartment buildings or multi unit buildings, they are in danger of the smoke seeping into or kind of coming into their units or common areas as well and this can result in prospective tenants really being exposed to hazardous air in their buildings. I think this is an important measure, too, that will really help prospective tenants finding out more where they may be exposed to second hand smoke but its usually after they sign a lease right now where people find this out. So this is a measure developed jointly by the mission sro collective and the San Francisco inaudible to make an informed decision about the unit under consideration and i
That was drifting from other units into their apartment and they were totally at a loss of what they could do. This is basically a right to know ordinance. This would inform prospective renters where smoking is allowed so they can make an informed decision and choose to decide on an all terp tiff if they dont want to be exposed to the second hand smoke. And supervisor mar, i think you talked a little bit about the 2006 Surgeon Generals report. One thick that was in the report, even short term exposure can be dangerous to cardiovascular health. In addition to sending out letters to the building land lords and managers what our Department Plans to do is to do two mailings because there will be first the apartment owners with 50 or less units who will be phased in as the first phase, so well do a mailing to notify those owners and then subsequently on second mailing to inform the other apartment owners of the larger units and we also plan to have a web site with questions and answers and
Chronic diseases, people with hiv, people with cancer and heart disease, who had just moved into their apartment and had no idea they were going to be exposed to second hand smoke that was drifting from other units into their apartment and they were totally at a loss of what they could do.

This would inform prospective renters where smoking is allowed so they can make an informed decision and choose to decide on an all terp tiff if they dont want to be exposed to the second hand smoke.

That an event that is meant to celebrate freedom from homo phobia. How appropriate it would be for pride to openly recognize the connection between homo phobia and smoking by actively promoting pride as a smokefree event. Freedom from tobacco took a survey from pride attendees to determine how they felt about second hand smoke and although our questions were about outdoor bar palt owes the question is relevant here as well. 80 percent of the over 18 pride attendees we surveyd in 2011 said they are bothered by second hand smoke on bar patios and understand it is harmful. Since the environment on an outdoor bar patio is not that different, it makes sense that they would also want pride to be smoke free. Good afternoon, supervisors, my name is kimberlee long and one of the project advocates. For as long as i can remember ive been attending street events with my dad and he would allow me to go under one condition, as long as i had my inhaler.

So in this way we can increase the land lords awareness and education and really continue to have a dialogue a
