Adopting a Smoke-Free Policy in Owner-Occupied Common Interest Communities
Listen to our webinar about adopting a smoke-free policy for your condominium, town home, cooperative, or owner-occupied common interest community (CIC)!

This webinar is geared toward CIC board members, owners/association members, and property managers. You will hear from Warren Ortland, an attorney with the Public Health Law Center as well as Carissa Larsen from the Live Smoke Free program. The webinar discusses the benefits of adopting a smoke-free policy, the legalities of going smoke free, and conclusions from the latest research about the market demand for smoke-free CICs.
