The author fought a four year battle against secondhand smoke in her condo association. After numerous setbacks, she was elected to her condo board, and thereafter as treasurer, where she led the effort to amend the Declaration to restrict smoking inside units and to define secondhand smoke as a nuisance. A single misstep could have undermined the entire endeavor.

According to available records, her medium-sized complex was the first in Florida to amend the Governing Declaration for this purpose. The challenges and hurdles faced – and overcome – are vividly presented.

Smoke-free condo advocates typically confront fierce opposition, including personal threats. For the author, backing down or letting others undermine the goal was not an option. Prior foes became supporters and one determined ally helped bring the vote across the finish line.

“It was an uphill fight until the very last vote was counted, with a colorful cast of proponents, doubters and vigorous opponents. Naysayers warned that we would fail in the best of times, let alone during a difficult economy. Opponents stated with certainty that we would be sued and lose.”

Smoke-Free Condos is a must-have guide for smoke free living in multifamily housing. Author of 17 books, Dr. Joyce Starr is a sought-after condo rights expert and public speaker. Her works include: Defend Your Condo & Homeowner Rights and Secondhand Smoke Crimes.
