The Boston smoke-free homes is a resource website where landlords, tenants and general community can access information about making the home environment smoke-free.

Going smoke-free makes your buildings healthier, safer, and easier to maintain. You'll save money, increase business, and decrease risks of fire and other liabilities. On this site you'll find all of the information needed to make your rental properties smoke-free.Living smoke-free means you're protected from other tenants' secondhand smoke by a written no smoking policy that prohibits smoking anywhere inside the building as well as outdoor areas where smoking may contaminate indoor air.
