The Daily PollPoll: Should smoking be banned in council houses?
A ban has been mooted in the United States.
SMOKING IN STATE-OWNED public housing in the United States is to be banned under new proposals.
It has been met with a mixed reaction. Some believe it means less people will be at risk of inhaling second-hand smoke. However it could result in more poor families being evicted for doing what would otherwise be a legal activity in the privacy of their own homes.
“Everyone — no matter where they live — deserves a chance to grow up in a healthy, smoke-free home,” American’s surgeon general said, arguing in favour of the ban.
