Smoking is set to be banned in all San Francisco apartments with one major exception: cannabis. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted this week to ban the smoking of tobacco in apartments but made an exception for cannabis. The ordinance is designed to protect residents from second-hand smoke and bans smoking inside buildings with more than three units. Medical and "adult-use" cannabis is still allowed.
The original proposal sought to ban residents from smoking cannabis inside their rental apartments. Cannabis activists spoke up, arguing that the new law would take away the one place where it's legal to consume cannabis products. It's illegal to smoke cannabis in public spaces throughout the state. The law hasn't become finalized quite yet. It'll head to Mayor London Breed's desk for signing. If you're a San Francisco renter who vapes or smoke cigarettes, you may want to start identifying new places to light up near your apartment. Once the law becomes official, you won't be able to smoke or vape inside your rental. Cannabis smokers in San Francisco should refer to their lease for guidance on how to partake without disturbing neighbors. While it's not against the law to smoke cannabis in rental apartments, you'll want to be mindful of how your habits might impact others in the community. -- Scott Safadi, Cal Bay Property Management
