“San Francisco banned smoking and vaping of tobacco in apartments Tuesday night, but only after exempting cannabis in response to a backlash from marijuana advocates. The Board of Supervisors voted 10-to-1 to approve legislation intended to protect renters from the harms of secondhand smoke in buildings with three or more units. Yee had wanted to ban cannabis smoke as well, but couldn’t get the votes. The legislation prompted an outpouring of opposition from cannabis advocates. “Tobacco smokers unable to smoke in their apartment building can go out to the curb or find other public space,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said. The Department of Public Health is charged with enforcing the ban. Violators could face fines of up to $1,000 per day. A violation can not be grounds for an eviction under the terms of the legislation.”
NOTE: E-liquid vape products have been deemed as Tobacco products, even though they do not contain tobacco, and do not emit smoke
