2 security patrol vehicles for the b line trail were pulled over on the trail smoking cigarettes. Not good for people like myself with asthma. Not good for encouraging citizens not to smoke on the trail.

Spring has started and the outdoor smoke coming from the Barbecue is in full force at the Short Stop food-mart on North Smith Road. My wife and I had three meetings with the City Council about this issue in 2015. And 2 recorded meetings with the council as a whole and a second meeting a few weeks later. The smoke issue was to be addressed for this location. But Chris Smith sold the store without implementing the standards the City Council had requested he perform. He was supposed to install and indoor smoker by December of (2015) that never happened. And he then sold the business in spring of 2016. As an example of how bad this smoke is. I hung wet laundry outside yesterday (Wednesday 4-25-18). Hoping for that nice fresh air smell when it was dry. Our clothing smelled like we had been next to a campfire. So I had to rewash all of the clothing. This has become a HUMAN HEALTH hazard and it has not been taken seriously. The city did nothing after our meetings to address SMOKE issues from cooking outdoors. I really hate to call the Fire department each time I smell smoke. As the cost to the city will be ridiculous for putting out (3) outdoor smokers. But that is what I am going to start doing. As we cannot breath. She had a lung removed and everyone is turning a blind eye towards this fact. Let me know what the city can do. Our district representative Allison Chopra was at the meetings as she was running for office and won the election. But I was told she had slept since the meetings and did not remember the restrictions placed on the smoke issue. If necessary I can send you the link to the videos of the meetings and what was proposed. Thank You.

I am writing this in regards to living in an apartment that has a smoking area( our building is a smoke free environment ) but the area if the smokers is very close to my window and right on the edge of the building. I guess the property manager considers that off property but it's right outside the building so I'm not too sure of the property lines but I feel like it's way too close to the building not to mention that on multiple occasions we've had to put fires out that are started from cigarette butts not being extinguished completely when putting in the bucket and people putting trash in there and it catching on fire, so that a major concern as well. The manager addressed it with a letter but I have still found the issue of the can smoldering. I asked my property manager at least if they could get the professional kind of cigarette butt extinguishers so that it was definitely out and could I just smell but never really got an answer and smoke is coming in through the window in the gaps. I know that any smoking area needs to be 8 ft away from an exit but I also was under the impression that it should be 25 ft away from any building window or vent system which mine is definitely closer than 25 ft and I'm really really getting tired of the smoke coming in to my building through the window into the apartment. I have written a complaint to landlord multiple times.

Every week I visit on Fridays for free flower Friday and there are always 2 female employees who smoke right outside the entrance. I respect the fact that they have a want for a smoking break, but not right outside the entrance to their own store, where non-smoking employees and customers have to inhale 2nd hand smoke. As well, there is another lady who I have seen vaping inside of the store. This is unacceptable, and I am not the only customer who I have heard complain.
